"My cunt is hung,/hung with sea urchins,//My cunt bursts,/bursts with bladderwrack,//My cunt drips,/wet as a walrus snout.//My cunt is hungry."

and

"There’s only one way to kill your enemy://You must bite my clit off, pull it inside out,/and use it as an arrowhead."

Translated by Nancy Campbell

A cunt hung with sea urchins? That sounds awfully uncomfortable! :-)

At least it's not removed and turned into a weapon as in the second poem. In her blog (http://nancycampbelle.blogspot.com/) the translator writes "All three songs, sung by female shamans, are from tales of great daring that have become legendary in Greenlandic culture."
