day SEVEN HUNDRED and EIGHTY SIX


One Day Women Will Fly

with a history where we have been
            used for the purposes of men

            cracked open for
            their own pleasure

            manhandled for the fun of it
            and made to pay the price

            granted life or death
            depending on how much

            we have given them and
            whether it’s enough—

it will take more than one hundred years
to chase away

                                    patriarchal captivity

--Rachel Toalson
