a Photographer of the Sea a Mediterranean Love Story
Bas Jongerius
Esto dicen las muchachas Esto dicen las muchachas: “ Tú no eres Poeta. ¿Hasta cuándo besarás nuestras bocas? Tu cuerpo se enlazará connuestros cuerpos, ¿hastacuándo? Prometiste hacernos Musas… Tú no eres Poeta. Tú eres un amante insaciable y pérfido.”
Miguel James
This is what the girls say This is what the girls say: “ You are not a Poet. When will you finally kiss our mouths? When will your body be entangled with our bodies? You promised we would be your Muses… You are not a Poet. You are just a lover, insatiable and perfidious.”
Miguel James
