c'è una donna

c'è una donna che è stata quasi stuprata
c'è una donna che si chiama Joy
ed è stata quasi stuprata
da un ispettore di polizia

Joy ha denunciato l'accaduto
Joy si è ribellata
ma Joy è rinchiusa in un cie
che cos'è un cie?
un cie è un lager
dicono sia un centro di identificazione ed espulsione
dicono

Joy ha denunciato
Joy è stata quasi stuprata
Joy ha tentato il suicidio
Joy soffre
Joy aspetta
Joy resiste

Ispirata a questo evento...

whale talking (7)

"Suddenly the sea was filled with awsome singing, a song with eternity in it, a song to the land:
You have called and I have come,
bearing the gift of the Gods
The dark shape rising, rising again. A whale, gigantic, A sea monster."
Witi Ihimaera


The white whale is singing to me
the white whale is calling my name

we have been apart for weeks
and I feel empty and destabilised

I will reply to the white whale's chant
I will look into her (funnily enough it has become a 'she' during this journey)
eyes and activate my power to create
meaning through words...

ru486

- Have you heard, Nora? They want to block the distribution of the RU486!
- Yes, I have, Dora. Unfortunately, the affirmation of totalitarian regimes often passes through the control of women's bodies!

note- the RU486 is an abortion pill, that has been and still is at the centre of many discussions in Italy. Recently two members of the League Party have affirmed that they intend not to distribute it in the regions where they are presidents. This was said in spite of the fact that the pill is legal in Italy.
