battling the curse of womanhood

November 14

battling the curse of womanhood

the mythical world of Djemaa el-Fna

a junkyard of humanity

the world of the man is a negative universe

the world of women is a fertile one

sick men, battered women, abandoned lunatics.

[a glass shattered and all heads turned toward

its sound, then followed its echo.

a woman screamed.]

how long have we been silent?

how long have we been paralyzed?

The struggle to break free from the uncertainties of language

the world is not dependent on chance and not dependent on gods.

Implode the grammar and syntax of life

congregation doesn’t necessarily mean family
