I'm the asymmetrical beauty.

Ordinary beauty is a matter of faces,

a matter of grace

where feet stand in places

and balance and weight.

I'm as balanced as a kite

-not at all- I just float

with my head over the ceiling

and one hand on the floor.

I'm the upside-down beauty,

the inside-out beauty,

I'm the mystery of lightning:

fast bright delicate

BUT LOUD.

Someone told me I must make up my mind

<<You can't be ice and fire

sky and ocean

black and white>>.

And nobody knows this haunted beauty,

the one that's oblique,

the one that walks diagonally,

grey side of the world.

Nobody knows the pleasure in a bite:

they dream of preys being caught and suffocated

while I'm here

in my unfinished undefined grace

where bruises are sweet juicy plums

and my heart is dealing with scars.

I'm the asymmetrical beauty.
