Dance

An evocative verse about a woman’s feelings, by Eliza, exclusively for Different Truths.

Her eyes said that
she wants to dance,
have fun, go crazy.

Perhaps
she envied others –
of their dancing feet.

She envelops in infirmity –
she cried.

Nobody saw her tears,
nobody saw that
like others
she craves for life.

Maybe he did not want to see?

– Translated by Artur Komoter
