note:

There is some debate with Japanese historians whether or not the female warrior class of feudal Japan, the Onna-bugeisha, functioned in the way today’s popular culture currently portrays them. The more conservative view is that there might be two or three of isolated occasions when high-born women trained for and participated in warfare, but to say anything more would be pure poppycock dreamed up by wishful thinkers. I don’t personally buy that. The Onna-bugeisha were a real social class, much like their male counterpoint, the samurai, and as such to simply write them off speaks much more about the embedded sexism that is still found in those who call themselves historians than anything else. The Onna-bugeisha in this picture wears a mask of a fox (a trickster) and holds the long blade known as a naginata. Behind her is a folding screen depicting two of her ancestors practicing (or fighting, hard to know) using similar weapons.

o encanto das bruxas

Fale-me sobre o magia, as fadas, o encanto das bruxas.

Fale-me sobre algo mais sutil de mil anos das teu esporra cobrindo a pele das minhas bunda.

Que linguagem você vai usar?

O mundo etérea não funciona em Inglês, linguagem da ciência e da psicologia.

Me sinto mal, mas como posso explicar? O que é machismo?

Sexo sem amor? Esporra? Há mais vida para além teu esporrada.

Se você entendeu, então eu diria que, “Lambe-la feito cachorro.”

Se você entendeu, então eu diria que, “Vou trepar sem beijar.”

Mas você não entende.

Reza para que não vou voltar.

][][

Tell me about magic, fairies, witches’ charm.

Tell me about something more subtle than a thousand years of your cum covering the skin of my ass.

What language will you use?

The ethereal world does not work in English, the language of science and psychology.

I feel bad, but how can I explain? What is machismo?

Sex without love? Cum? There is more to life than your cum-shot.

If you got it, then I would say, “Lick it like a dog.”

If you got it, then I would say, “I’ll fuck without kissing.”

But you do not understand.

Pray that I will not return.

note:

Once again I must apologize for my poor translations skills. If there are any errors the fault is entirely mine. Still, how else can we improve except make mistakes. Thank you.

Auntie Walking Death, Celano, Eurybe, female warrior, Greek myth, Phoebe, poem, Poetry, sonnet, taekwondo

Is your shrine a shelter for girls to train
in the craft of war? have you sent mothers
in bronze to battle? Are the names of slain
sisters, etched in stone, preserved? Warriors
like my aunt, whom they once called Walking Death,
followed you; forgive me for presuming.
I have followed you, too, felt the sword’s breath
arch down upon my bowed neck, felt the sting,
great, fierce, strong—you are hand-swung—of others
who have perished. Celano and Phoebe
fell by your side. Their names are forgotten.
Soon mine will be too. I’ll be no sister’s
pride, no walking death’s child. I am sorry.
My aunts are dead. My mothers have fallen.

][][

note:

In Greek myth Eurybe was an Amazon who was a master with a spear, fighting with her shield-guards, Phoebe and Celano. Unfortunately, all three were killed by Hercules, when their spears broke against the lion’s skin from his 1st Labor. Legend has it that they were all killed with a single sword stroke. Her name means “Grand Strength.”
