An evocative poem by Eliza that asserts her identity, in a gender-centric poem, exclusively for Different Truths.
Eve was first,
and I?
I’m like the sun,
which blings –
real, yet elusive.
On the surface of eternity
man is only a flash.
She was and is,
I –
will be while I am.
(Translated by Artur Komoter)
