Changing Room A poem by Wojtek Puslowski I'll forget myself one of these days! My jacket. That nail is bent My skirt, its lining Hissing against my stockings, Slithers down like a snake in the sand. My undershirt, my whites, The whites of my breasts! Drooping like plastic bags - Two pounds of salt in each My skin goes over my head like a bobsledder's bodysuit -The gulls will have a ball! And now for the muscles - Fiber by fiber Hour-glass licorice Rolling in sand Like spaghetti in flour Disconnect the tendons With sharp tugs As with wires riveted To fence postsI reach inside – That's the brim of the gut The sunbeams pierce To my womb's bald skull Let's stoke our bellies with clumps of seaweed! Let our eyes become the pearly bodies of snails - I might be a poet, Spinning such words!Once again I reach calmly into the soggy hole beneath my breasts And grab hold of my poor Stuttering heart But oooooh... .(trans.
