The Only Medium for Communication with You (Tali Cohen Shabtai)

“You are so beautiful,

if I was young

poems would be the only medium for

communication with you”

You see, I have a quill made

from a stem of material that cannot be eroded

between the teeth and

print sheets of

erodible writing surfaces

of all the skin

in my body

that covers

almost all its area and occupies

15% of its weight

It

is in keeping with

with an ancient pattern that exists

for over 1,000 years and received

a use with me on the tiny pores

of skin. 

In order to communicate with me, I have to

expose this cover system

to you

in order for you

to mark the letters of poetry

on my nakedness.

Therefore, this will not be

interpersonal-direct

communication. 

Do not be a fool! The grimaces on my face

are the message of the words I write individually.

In my nudity I place

and not for reasons of modesty

all the words that will not be said – yet –

their destiny is no enigma

If it was not performed well and turned out good

it will be spared, I may allow you

to use your medium between

the limbs

in the greatest amount that can be contained or absorbed

until I reach

catharsis.
