Woman

Modigliani - Bust of a young woman



Who are you woman?
What do you want?
Everything,
Nothing. 

Why are you here? 
Coincidence,
Destiny.

God’s sin,
Weak creature
Vicious guise
Pleasing paradox ;

I see you everywhere!
Sometimes, I picture you
And I fix you in my mind ;
You were better in my fiction!

I wish I could kidnap you,
And take you away from this madness.
It would be good,
To draw lines on your empty canvas
To light up candles inside your darkness.

I will offer you a soul,
I will give you my knowledge and my courage
My pride and my heritage;

Could you be glorious and virtuous?
Or this will make you a man?
Aren’t we the same?
Do you want to be like me?
I don’t think you can!
