~Emmanuela~ has added a photo to the pool:
grande . large
One day Ill give birth to a tiny baby girl
and when shes born shell scream and Ill make sure
she never stops.
I will kiss her before I lay her down
and will tell her a story so she knows
how it is and how it must be for her to survive.
[. . .]
Ill teach her to develop all of her selves
the courageous ones
the smart ones
the dreaming ones
the fast ones.
Ill teach her she has an army inside her
that can save her life.
Ill tell her to say Fuck like other people say The
and when people are shocked
to ask them why they so fear a small quartet
of letters.
Ill make sure she always carries a pen
so she can take down the evidence.
If she has no paper Ill teach her to
write everything down on her tongue
write it on her thighs.
[. . .]
Ill teach her to write her manifestos
on cocktail napkins.
Ill teach her to talk hard.
Ill tell her that her skin is the
most beautiful dress she will ever wear.
Ill tell her that people must earn the right
to use her nickname
that forced intimacy is an ugly thing.
[. . .]
Ill teach her to be whole to be holy
to be so much that she doesnt even
need me anymore.
Ill tell her to go quickly and never come back.
I will make her stronger than me.
Ill say to her never forget what they did to you
and never let them know you remember.
Never forget what they did to you
and never let them know you remember.
Never forget what they did to you
and never let them know you remember.
