Birds nest in my arms,

on my shoulders, behind my knees,

between my breasts there are quails,

they must think Im a tree.

The swans think Im a fountain,

they all come down and drink when I talk.

When sheep pass, they pass over me,

and perched on my fingers, the sparrows eat,

the ants think Im the earth,

and men think Im nothing.

 

       Gloria Fuertes
