AFRICAN APHRODITE OF XXI CENTURY 1

The night draws the silhouette of a woman,

and realizes the black color of her illusion.

The day equalizes her shape

with the shape of Africa.

Her eyes see the whole

one continent of our sorrow.

The night lowers her illusions

in its colors.

On the black continent of her beauty,

the children of her mornings walk.

The lions of her desires have ripped

the antelopes of the unclearness of her fate.
