Women

Perhaps the woman is life's greatest contradiction. Both angel and devil, both rose and thorn, both water and fire... This poem describes all the states of woman, all her faces: She is the one who kills with her gaze, and the one who saves from the precipice. Calloused-handed workers, selfless givers with hearts of straw, sun-eyed hopes... Mothers, strangers, loves—all are women, all are life. On March 8, International Women's Day, a portrait of the infinite colors of womanhood.

Women who kill with their gaze
Women who torment with their flow
Women who extinguish with their flight
Women who make you smile with their dimples

Women who leave you thirsty in the desert
Women whose gaze is given life
Women who set Rome ablaze
Women who throw you off a cliff, then save you from the abyss

Women who are devils you thought were angels
Women who are thorns you thought were roses
Women who are vinegar you thought were honey
Women who are black you thought were white

Women whose hearts are bigger than the world
Women whose pride is a waterfall
Women whose hair is silk
Women whose horizons are hopeless

Women with calloused hands
Women with hearts of straw
Women with sun-kissed eyes
Mothers, strangers, loves
