a bayonet in a tattoo in the shape of a skull-at-arms

this was what we were up against

as girls stood up for their dream in the way of life

the fair sex will retaliate

the dark sex will retaliate

a fair break, justice in love?

what it takes: to break a stupor

what it takes: a new metabolic modus

what will it take: an antithetical hallucination?

new narrations, tensions, take back: stoned for adultery

all actions reversed in masculine time

horoscopes read & remarked upon

what is in my stars today? what planets rule?

take back the romance to die in war

saw “the camps”

saw the horror

go to a place now that engenders reverie

mythical anti-fascist space & be a mutable form,

a shape-shifter

be that little girl with her tiny instruments

who investigates the maginifcent cosmos

be next to her as she works overtime in the scriptorium
