*Nazım Hikmet ...Some say that a woman is for sleeping with...

...long winter nights...

Some say that a woman is for play-like like a sexy dancer on a green harvest ground
Some say she is my spouse.., some say she is the spiritual debt
That I carry around my neck
Some say she’s one who gives my children birth…
She’s neither this nor that, not a sexy dancer, not a spouse, not a debt, none of that!
She is my arms and my legs and my head..
My mother, my wife, my sister, my lover-confidant
She is My Lifelong Bosom Friend..."
*Nazım Hikmet, a communist Turkish poet 
1902-1963
