The Body Of A Woman Poem by Nangamso Ndikandika

The Body Of A Woman

Rating: 5.0


The body of a woman
This is a beautiful sculpture perfected by God
Within it there many engines

And many rivers
Rivers which flow of blood so beautifully and painfully
Rivers which flow with milk to feed a child

The body of a woman
Comes in shapes and sizes
It’s carried by a short or tall skeleton
No matter what size skeleton you carry
Delivery is not compromised
No matter what size you are to be proud
For you are women

rivers of blood and rivers of milk...only a woman is capable of holding either...u r so down to earth that what u so far wrote has a unique earthy quality to them.
