To Eve: The Song Poem by Atef Ayadi

you have never been allowed
to be outside the little 'woman' circle

for thousands of years.

now it time

to walk out,
explore that little circle
make it bigger,
or re-sized the way you want.
or simply create your own.

so woman
start your ritual,
by singing
or
dancing

with
your feminine voice
or mimicking my masculine voice.


just get out of that
old cold freezing
circle
and be a hunter.

i have been dreaming
of a woman
who dares to leave her native inner circle,
and aims to hunt me down.
