Postcards from the Outskirts of Cuntry
The How is as relevant as the Where
Why bother to craft the details, the minutiae, the intricate?
These portable, light and disposable dispatches?
Keepsakes of journeys to friend and beloved awaiting
the homecoming after the diaspora
She must post to Herself within also,
a way of keeping in touch,
of touching soul
But even Being Home is our steady, daily journey
For often in the country called Women, even home –the old broken stove in the kitchen -- and the scarred, stitched self
have re-wondering archipelagoes
Sceneries and scenarios awaiting discovery or reclamation,
expeditions called Remembrance
or Performance
And each village named Body and/or Mind remains to be
