It has always been sexual, never without vulgarity, Always been with lust, never artistic, Always with eyes that judged, that held contempt, That we beheld the body, The naked body, Of a woman. Centuries of caging her in a cocoon of expectations, Ever since Eve took the first bite, What to wear, wh  Read More...
