Woman by Valente Ngwenya Malangatana

In the cool waters of the river

we shall have fish that are huge

which shall give the sign of

the end of the world perhaps

because they will make an end of woman

woman who adorns the fields

woman who is the fruit of man.

The flying fish makes an end of searching

because woman is the gold of man

when she sings she ever seems

like the fado-singer’s well-tuned guitar

when she dies, I shall cut off

her hair to deliver me from sin.

Woman’s hair shall be the blanket

over my coffin when another Artist

calls me to Heaven to paint me

woman’s breasts shall be my pillow

woman’s eye shall open up for me the way to heaven

woman’s belly shall give birth to me up there

and woman’s glance shall watch me

as I go up to Heaven.
