Removing heads

 

There are

women's skins that are

stickier than the smell of scales

There are

feminine hands that go right to the guts

without knowing how to empty the insides

There are

bloods that mingle on one's lap

There are

fish that have one's husband's expression

There are

gills one puffs and pants to remove

There are

bodies that have the shuddering of the waves

There are

those that go to bed with the sea

as with an unfaithful lover

There are

women

that cut the heads off the fish as if removing their own
