Girl with the flying cheekbones:
She is
I am
Woman with the behind that drives men mad
and if not in yours
where is the woman with a nose broad
as her strength
If not in yours
in whose language
is the man with the full-moon lips
carrying the midnight of colour
split by the stars - a smile
if not in yours
in whose
in whose language
am i
am i not
am I I am yours
am i not I am yours
Am I I am
if not in yours
in whose
in whose language
am i
if not in yours
beautiful


personally i thinking every « in whose language» refer to the sense of hearing bcuz it talks about what language is beautiful to oneself.
and « is the man with the full-moon lips» is a visual imagery, imagining his lips as a full moon , right?
and « carrying the midnight of colour» maybe touch or visual, not sure
an last is « split by the stars - aplit» is it touch?
plz help me with this, it's important
