Whose face and body would I like to have? Poem by Vera Pavlova

Whose face and body would I like to have?



Whose face and body would I like to have?
The face and body of Nike.
I would fly past all those Venuses,
would have nothing to do with Apollos.
With the wind chill on my shoulder
I would leave behind forever
the hall of plaster copies!

Translation Steven Seymour
