She 2 Poem by Viktor Neborak

(rap performance by Kids of the Queenie)

2

on the balcony you stand
like a mannequin
you got marble hands
blood's just like carmen

night's losin' color
in your black eyes
bloody matadors
be out of the prize

bards strain their throats
gold so fine
you're a goddess full of pride
honey pie babe
sweet child of mine

iron winds unfurl
snowdrops ears of grain and
an orange stream hurls
onto scorching sand

Translation: 2005, Michael M. Naydan
