Meat

A kilogram of meat

With two legs, with thick thighs

I'm afraid men have me confused

With their orders at the butcher's

That I am to be torn, flesh from bone

With their teeth

And suck on their fingers

As they finish me

Carne:

un kilo de carne

con dos piernas, con muslos gruesos

tengo miedo de que los hombres me tengan confundida

con sus ordenes en la carnicerĂ­a

que soy para tirar la carne del hueso

con sus dientes

y chuparse los dedos

al terminarme
