Author notes
Exphrastic poem of a picture of an Ethiopian girl of "marrying age" in the Mursi Tribe, one of the last peoples who practice the custom of wearing ceramic discs that distend the lip, their way of life unchanged since ancient times, that is until the war in neighboring Sudan, the war everywhere, now possessing modern weapons their culture is corrupted. The article and photos are in Rolling Stone, the new small version with Barack on the cover..wild stuff
