about pleasure and desire,

for what I was experiencing;
ما كنت أعاني منه،
I could at the time

"Hey, you want me to bury you?"
"مهلا، تريدين مني أن أدفنك؟"
and she was like, "Yeah!"
وكانت تشبه "نعم!"
and lathered her up in the shower

with my girls when they're older,
مع فتيات بلدي عندما يكبرن في السن،

"OK, up and to the right,
"حسنا، أعلى وإلى اليمين،
how to articulate their sensations
كيف يعبروا بوضوح عن احاسيسهم
with my girls at home to do this.
مع فتياتي في المنزل للقيام بذلك.
on my daughter's arm and say,
to tell them how I'm feeling,
means I'm nervous and I'm excited.
يعني أنا متوترة ومتحمسة.
in response to me.
احاسيسكم كاستجابة لي.
is to judge these reactions
in this binary culture
في هذه الثقافة المزدوجة
to sort the world into good and bad.
لفرز العالم إلى الخير والشر.

and curious about their experiences,
وشغوفين عن تجاربهم،
without checking out --
مع الإحساس دون الخروج منه --
and challenging ones --
in turn remind our children
بدورنا تذكير أطفالنا به
