Instructions for undressing the human race
Author: Fernando Alegria
Chapter XV
Undress the buddhist monk of his flames
cover him with a red parasol
anoint his dark face with oil
perfume his thighs with the breath of a maiden
wrap his body in silk neckties
break open pomegranates on his lips
squeeze a dove on top of his head
don't bug him, love him from afar
allow him to flare up
like a match between the fingers of god
- I read this poem a long time ago, and could never find the actuall collection of works from the poet, a chillian Poet, these of course have been translated.
thanks man
