Dance Performance. Performance Song of the Sister-in-law
Dance Performance.
Performance Song of the Sister-in-law.
Three men rush in.
Two men with birchbark masks, one man with a scarf, (he's) the woman there.
They dance a bit.
Then the younger man sits his elder brother and his sister-in-law down.
You, he says, stay!
I, he says, am off to fish.
He goes, he fishes.
He came back.
His elder brother asks, what did you catch?
He says, if I don't catch (anything), who will?
Doesn't my sister-in-law carry the fish to the shore?
He says, when did your sister-in-law carry (them)?
And you, do you keep her for her cunt?
Doesn't my sister-in-law prepare the fish?
When has your sister-in-law prepared fish?
Or do you keep her for her round belly?
He got angry.
He walks around singing.
For my capable sister-in-law I take pains,
For my capable brother-wife I take pains.
When I think
I take pains for my capable sister-in-law.
(When) a spring day with waves comes,
I break my painted paddle made of red wood from the sunny side of the tree,
(When) a fall day with waves comes,
I break my good skis made of red wood from the sunny side of the tree.
When I say, when I say, her pathetic skull
is (like) a miserable smoke hole plug.
When I say, when I say, her pathetic mouth
is (like) dry wood, (like) a miserable rotten bone.
When I say, when I say, her pathetic hooked hands
are (like) miserable dirt-scratching hooks of six women, of seven women.
When I say, when I say, her pathetic round belly
is (like) the miserable trough hollowed by an inept man,
(like) the miserable feeding trough for seven dogs, for six dogs.
When I say, when I say, her pathetic ribs
are (like) miserable laths knocked together by an inept man.
When I say, when I say, her pathetic back
[notched by an inept man]
is (like) the miserable ladder rungs notched by an inept man,
[climbed up by seven women, by six women]
(like) the miserable ladder rungs climbed up by seven women, by six women.
When I say, when I say, her pathetic hooked legs
are (like) the misebable oven-cleaning hooks of six women, of seven women.
When I say, when I say, her pathetic arse-hole
[of six women, of seven women]
is (like) the greenish-yellow opening of a smoke-tanning pit of six women, of seven women.
When I say, when I say, her pathetic cunt
is (like) the miserable cunt for withered horses, for stud horses to sneak to.
His elder brother askes his wife: What is he saying?
She says, he wants to eat, he's grinding his teeth.
They dance.
