Manuela Cardiga - Guilty Pleasures and Culinary Treasures

WISDOM FROM THE GARDEN OF DELIGHTS
(The Good Eunuch's Guide
to Running a Tight Harem
in Loose-Crotched Pants)

mute as a broken lute
is how a woman should be
and once she reaches
a certain age
she should be
neither heard
nor seen

a veil should hide
scars and marks
of life's travail
least such
should rob
pleasure
from the hearts
and loins
of worthy men
and their desire fail...
