Giant Body - Rebekka Bakken

My giant body in this fine world

of thin lines and elegance

with quick words, behaved laughs

tears that shine from hurts

that are sore but sweet to soothe

my body knows just how to get

greedy as it is

greedy as it is

kisses, bread and speedy cars

loud talks and clumsy hugs;

I never learned to wait

They mourn so sweet,

they work so hard they talk so slim

they walk so right they love so proper

hate so fine

if I could be like that

if I could cry like that

if I could laugh like that

if I could shrink

if I could put this body down

if I could chill my burning breasts

and turn myself around

my giant body stands here tall

how dare it take this form

I denied it, I forbade it

this giant body, loud and rude

is harboring a storm

of useless thoughts of petty moods

blowing me all down

If I could cry like that

if I could laugh like that

if I could shrink

if I could put this body down
