of white and black and red also and black
my fingers smudge something in the blue ink of the pen
I still have pens, I make it a point
to still have pens
with which I do not write that a new world is being born
with flat shiny lavender walls.
In it, women and walls mingle their bodies of womenly women
dressed in black and red and mostly black
with enormous wavy skirts where litres of olive oil
are smuggled onto Spain
while the children, the countless children
jump and scream and ask for water and bread
and the olive oil frying underneath the black
wavy skirt
under which all her children where safe
safe from hunger
underneath the skirts where the hips swayed
dragging litres and litres countless litres
of olive oil
to Spain.
And who would mistrust the heavy maternity
of such wide mother that didn't rock the trees
nor screamed the screams
but loved those shiny round olives smashed
underneath the rocks of the mill
the countless rocking of the mill,
was that you Mill girl? Did he die?
He died, but not I.
I am the Mill girl.
I write there is a new world being born
where the walls are flat and shiny and lavender
and women
all women
levitate, at the reach of their own hands.
