Donโ€™t walk by my laundry stand, Iโ€™ve just hung a thread. Donโ€™t send me a text โ€“ Iโ€™ll climbย  between the lines to look for you. Donโ€™t use that still eye on me, Iโ€™ll lose my rest, this incubation. Donโ€™t make shadows play trickery in the space Iโ€™ve made

Phenomentally Hollow By Faith.Marie 62 lines, I was born in 1962 after Maya Angelouโ€™s Phenomenal Woman Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. Iโ€™m not cute or built to suit a fashion modelโ€™s size ย ย  But when I start to tell them, They think Iโ€™m telling lies. I say, Itโ€™s in the reach of my arms, The span of my hips, ย ย  The stride of my step, ย ย  The curl of my lips. ย ย  Iโ€™m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, ย ย  Thatโ€™s me.

Ein wehes Verlangen fรผllt mein Herz, nach irgendetwas, das mir sehr fehlt. Es ist ein milder, bittersรผฮฒer Schmerz, der seltsam wohltut und auch quรคlt. Ich versuche, das Gefรผhl zu ertasten, um endlich wieder davon frei zu sein, Doch der Versuch, mich zu entlasten, taucht mich in eine tiefe Leere ein.
