Happy International Women's Day!

WOMEN

Who says woman
on long winter nights
It's for sleeping.
Some say a woman is to play like a nine-bellied Köçek in a green threshing floor. Some say it is my foot. It is the plague that I carry on my neck.
Some say the one who kneads the dough.
Neither this, nor this, nor a mattress, nor a köçek, nor a foot, nor a plague.
It's my arms and legs. My baby, my mother, my wife, my sister are my life partners.
