Romantic Love Poem by Ravi Kopra

Romantic Love

Rating: 1.0


For thirty odd pigs, a Huli man gets
A new wife tending his goats, land, kids, pigs

She ties a rope's end to the pigs front legs
The other end is tied to the wild tree trunk

She goes to the fields to till the land, to tend the cows
Her husband hides behind the trunk and pulls the rope

The pigs give out deafening squeals, the wife turns back
The Huli husband jumps on her like a hungry leopard

Disrobes her, throws her on the ground and humps her, humps her
one two three four one two three four four four more more more

He's old. He gasps for air. She pushes him away
He wraps back the loin cloth. He goes away muttering love.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Thirty Pigs for a Bride: Modern Day Slavery in Papua New Guinea

By Dr. Sasha Galbraith

"With all those kids in the house, how do couples have sex? Usually the woman leaves in the morning to go out to tend her garden, taking her pig, which has a rope tied around its front leg. She ties her pig to a tree and goes about her work. While she's occupied, the husband sneaks up behind the pig and pulls its tail. The pig squeals and the woman, fearing that someone is trying to steal her pig, runs back. That's when the husband jumps her for sex. Sounds romantic, doesn't it? "
