dimenno security blanket caitlin clarke you frolicking like wild horses we saw at the villa in orvieto grazing in their kingdom of spiky grass hollering and playing in the river splashing about like you did in your wellies specks of gold and silver dancing through their thick auburn manes performing your odyssey to a green amphitheater with innocence draped over your shoulders i see you in cardiff on the gaza strip a medley of latex iron pyrite and big bouncing tits i see your face among them all plastered against the bodies of whores and pimps of the rottweilers chained to telephone poles snarling through their buttery teeth clawing at nothing in particular and the scarlet faced men who scurry like rats opening and closing cast iron doors fading into black beyond the mountains of ivory powder and the piles of broken glass i see you shaking your skin turned to rubber as limp and sullen as that bird we saw in the bush outside bungendoor clinging on to the darkness depleting into the onyx earth i see you at hope house among a collage of absent faces do you remember how your legs shook when he parted them when you sunk your body into the lumpy grey foam and begged it to swallow you in the mirror our eyes meet patchwork blue green brown and crimson dripping down your legs like rain on a pipe evaporating like the steam off the top of that mountain we saw when we chased shadows as if they were dragons in the sky i see you there aged seventeen searching through the long grass newly wet with mildew for some kind of prophecy i see you there in the water among the schools of fish hunting with the seagulls and floating all the way back home mosaic mermaids swim through the derelict rust their platinum tails capturing light competing with other contestants the old man who nurtures squirrels in the graveyard whose sickly skin is blotched with shades of violet and cherry red who cowers from children and crumbles slowly into the amber earth the sandstone woman imprinted with hues of you in stokes croft i see her in all her wretched glory her leathery skin tightly wrapped in matte black plastic hips bulging gasping for a breath of fresh air like the glistening rocks we saw at church bay that appear only when the tide is out apparitions in the sand i see you there in the water flecks of luminous golden light striking the sea and from it you rise in all your saline splendor only to crash against the marble and tremble retreating to the deep dark blue theresa dimenno a kind of rescue afric mcglinchey can t inhale any more of his boulder sized words droops like a

artists activism poets and artists speaking out against rape protest poetry sarah crewe from sea witch sharon black indian rose valerie laws the sex life of slugs on 07 11 2013 by peony moon protest against rape wednesday may be triggering 1 reply before the reader embarks on reading these poems the editors stress that some content may be found disturbing troubling or even distressing sexual violence is an emotive subject and some writing about rape is as exploitative as the crime itself such writing in the context of politics the media or literature can constitute a double violation for the rape survivor who lives the experience for a second time the experience of triggering encounters with sexual violence as a subject for literature demand caution care and respect but an interrogation of rape myths is necessary the poems selected break the silence of the status quo which defines sexual violence as a freak event rather than part of a dominative rape culture this protest is the beginning of a conversation that seeks recuperation healing and redress please note that submissions are closed the introduction to our protest can be read here please refer to our list of international resources for rape support here now that i have daughters carolyn jess cooke don t get me wrong i was always a feminist how could i be otherwise but now i m raising daughters it all seems to leap out at me and by it i mean the twelve foot murals at the fairground of women breasts bulging thighs narrow backs arched red pouts i m sure i always noticed them but now as i take my girls on those rides i am angry because a spin in a pink mouse themed cup subjects them to a message of womanhood as coterminous with sex and subservience and a pervasive annihilation of their true power true beauty of the female edited out by capitalist ink and it s there when i wheel the pushchair into a newsagent s and dash out again for at my four year old s eye level magazines flash those

brushes the hair of her princess dolls wears a tiara and writes little stories about becoming a princess and this i don t mind we talk about what a princess represents her qualities of self worth integrity what femininity really is then she asks me to read one of her fairy tale books but i cringe at the self sacrificing narratives of female as secondary as helpless and one day i can t stop myself i pull out all her books and discard the ones i cannot bring myself to narrate yes i may have become a curmudgeon i may well be over protecting censoring radical but i say if i must raise my girls in a world where rape is joked about warfare legal where a child my daughter s age will be forced to marry where a woman will be put in prison for reporting a rape where a mother will be thrown off a bus for breastfeeding where the press will vilify a woman for not losing baby weight and applaud a man for misogyny then i will raise my girls by teaching them that they are awesome they are daughters of the divine that their femininity is sacred and i say take back your messages of harm and woman as nothingness take your whispers toward me in my raincoat pushing the buggy take back the qualifier in that disgusting phrase just a mother i say these are my daughters they are glorious they are precious and they know their worth i say watch out these are the women of tomorrow s world
