Self Portrait Dedicated To Leon Trotsky Contest
SELF PORTRAIT DEDICATED TO LEON TROTSKY (by Frida Kahlo)
Lover,
If you dare the Truth
find the Heart of
Frida
Whip the whiteness
from the curtain on the left
Out spill my genteel manners
Generations bred--
My true self,
Tears through the
Silky Latin-shaded skin--
I, the restless lioness
Mauling
Devouring you
With undiluted joy
you, my unsuspecting lover
bold power makes you
savory
I save your genitals 'til last—
which your frantic friends will find
gently hanging
in a fragrant flowering tree--
Piquant dessert to be relished ere
I sink into
a gentle
velvet sleep.
If your courage rages
seek my Soul
Loosen the line
of artistic perfection
on the right
Like a Hydra
Blazing
my Soul will come a-screaming
with a shriek to free generations of
long dead and servile sisters
from their graves
Together, we will
Lick the poisons
from your soul
Force rancid politics
to fly like bees
into the eyes of your enemies
Allowing you
My Darling of Magnificence
a
single night
of peaceful rest.
