In the height of British Colonies a term was coined for the native women who lived with the colonialists: sleeping dictionary.
A sleeping dictionary because they provided a very useful service.
Through their foreign and voluptuous flesh the foreigner could learn the native language.
Their bodies rich and spilling with lexicon, with meaning, with knowledge.
A knowledge locked away, unreachable for them.
A sleeping dictionary always in need of the mighty pen of the other.
A treacherous body.
But more than a sleeping dictionary, a woman's flesh is a savage glossary.
A huntress patiently at prowl.
