8,000-Year-Old Female Figurine Uncovered in Central Turkey
…I am my own kind of damaged there,
…Imagine you are
an animal in your
own throat,
…Lay out on the pine floor.
rattle your own bones back
to the center of the world.
…sometimes in the doorway I think I see a hem
trailing away outside but there’s nowhere to leave to
and nobody sweetheart nobody has a dress that long or lace
…What accident of nature?
What sin warrants a blown brain,
a lame body? Where does it wait
To be born?
Molly McCully Brown, The Virginia State Colony For Epileptics And Feebleminded
And I ask, WHY? WHY? WHY? – NB
