35847 - In North Korea

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athina Kehagias

In North Korea
the dictator
stops
even the menstruation
of the army’s
women
as if
they no longer
have a gender
and those
who can’t bare it
are exterminated
in some way
so that
no trace
exist
of this barbarity
which encroaches
even upon
the very nature
of the human
called
woman.
