2.
Tunnistin sen
koska se olin minä.
Nopeasti piirretty
ennen kuin tämä ehti tuoksi.
Se oli jo menossa,
sinä pysäytit sen muutamiin viivoihin.
Alistuminen, kapina.
Paino ja painottomuus.
Tiesitkö että piirsit mustalla valon?

6.
(vielä yksi croquis)

Hän kannatti painoa.
Hän lähti lentoon.
Nopea oivallus:
tässä me kaikki kahlitut naiset
koko kahlitsemattomuudessamme.

Hiilen paksu piirto.
Tajuamisen rajaton keveys. 		Translation - English
2.
I recognized that this was me.
Swiftly drawn
before the line had time to be used.
It was already moving,
you fastened it with a few strokes.
Submission, insurrection.
Weight and weightlessness.
Did you know, the black came off
as light?

6.
(one more croquis)

She was carrying the weight
and yet took flight.
An instant realization:
here we all are, us chained women,
constrained, still uncontainable.

The bold mark of charcoal.
The delight of unbound insight.
