I am not a stone that stands firmly in place despite the weather, despite the erosion that casts a shadow on the way things were, but only in their beginning. When we unravel the pain, where does it leave us standing but with a hand full of pebbles and a collection of sixty-four pennies? You cannot carve me into a statue of beauty and grace, for you have never given me the lips with which to speak and to kiss the women who showed me what it means to love someone that won’t ask you to be a rock or an amethyst or the pink chalcedony I picked out and she bought me, on the day after he touched me and stripped away my skin; tapping lightly on a breast that had been chiseled from the breast of a mother and her mother before that, both bearing witness to men in the pursuit of pleasure sans pain. What we take lies before us in the dim moonlight, watching only for the sake of watching. Eyes of judgement shall be cast on you for what you want, what you steal, what you can never return because it has been dirtied by the tobacco underneath your nails and the stench of blood filling your lungs– with each breath you are drowning, but blood does not simmer, it boils, bubbles, and coats your voice until you are begging for ice that will not melt: a rock so pure that when you saw it, you were sure it had to be crystal. I am a woman who has been carved from the canyons and chasms so deep, they do not echo. Their screams into my belly do not escape into the windless nights of December, I carry them with me, and their cries go unanswered because I am not a monolith. I am not a stone that stands firmly in place. ! 4 NOVEMBER 3RD, 2019 Sometimes I cruelly think it would be better if we had never become friends, then I would not have this pain of losing him. ! 5 I FOUND THE CLEARING IN THE FOREST WHERE GOD KEEPS ALL THE BRIDGES YOU CAN CROSS INTO HEAVEN, BUT THEY’RE ROTTED AWAY I am looking to find the way past the bridges and the openings through the leaves in the sycamore trees, where the sunlight floods through and I can see his shadow waiting to dance with me in the joyous reunion of love, taken, quickly without remorse, or even a moment to whisper: goodbye, don’t go, I want you, only you, and I will keep you alive through my undying adoration. May I cross to the other side where the brook runs over the smoothed stones or is He standing, arms crossed, a silent watcher – making sure I do not step forward onto the molded planks of honey-colored cedar wood? It has blackened from weakness and pond water; I am too afraid to ask if there is another way across the sloshing waters to meet my lost friend. What can I do when I am choking; my face turned blue from the loss, or worse, the act of losing? God, I know you can see me on the phone, answering the same call every morning before sunrise– his mother and the single tear she shed telling me her son, oh her beloved son, is dead. It is five a.m. and I am waking to the ringing and the dread and then stumbling through my kitchen, grasping for the countertops so I do not slip through the cracks in our faux wooden floor. I am gasping for the air from our conditioner and crawling to my roommate’s bedroom, dragging my legs, my torso; inching forward until I can reach for the arm of the couch and learn to stand again, like a calf first ! 6 finding its footing on the pasture where its mother grazes and doesn’t have to think about how she’d muster the strength to chew grass after the loss of her baby. He called her, said that weekend was the happiest he’d ever been, ever will be, and how do you stand on two feet when every bone in your body has snapped in three, for there’s nothing to make her whole again, that’s what she said to me over the phone to let me know the toxicology report came back clean, and we are reminded of his responsibility, like we didn’t know he was perfect– so kind, his father has likened him to Jesus in his eulogy that I downloaded to a hard drive on my computer because I got stuck five hours from the funeral without a ride or a license to drive and I got drunk instead and my friends said it’s the happiest they’d ever seen me, which I know means he’s here, hand on my shoulder, waiting

You're exempt from the ash and fizzle, the cold stain that daybreak leaves. The flapping blind, the drain that chokes, will heal unhandled. Not a cent demands the baker when you ask for bread. Your latest love would give you lungs to breathe beneath the sea. (Is that what you believe?) I never needed your adventurous bed, your one-way spectacles. I saw a day the sun refused to rise, but you maintained my eyes alone were black as burnt-down wood. No, I could turn a thousand times away: the song that's ceased, sweetest of all refrains. I'm only saying this for your own good.

  • Stranje House
    Stranje House A School for Unusual Girls by Kathleen Baldwin Stranje House, School for Unusual Girls Kathleen Baldwin, page 2 Chapter 1 Banished London, 1814 “I’ll wager Sir Isaac Newton’s parents didn’t pack him off to a school to reform his manners.” I smoothed my traveling skirts and risked a glance at my parents. They sat across from me, stone-faced and indifferent to my arguments. “Do be quiet, Georgiana.” With gloved fingers my mother massaged her forehead. Our coach slowed and rolled to a complete standstill, waylaid by crowds spilling into the road. All of London celebrated Napoleon’s capture and imprisonment on the isle of Elba. Rich and poor danced in the streets, rejoicing together and singing songs around makeshift fires. Their jubilation made my journey to exile all the more dismal. My father drummed fingers against his thigh and muttered curse words about our snail-like progress through London. Mother closed her eyes as if in slumber, a ploy to evade my petitions. She could not possibly be sleeping while holding her spine in such an erect formation. She didn’t even allow herself the luxury of leaning back against the squibs for fear of crumpling the feathers on her bonnet. Somehow, some way, I had to make them see reason. “This is a pointless expense. Surely you realize I have no more use for a schoolroom. Next week I turn sixteen, and since I have already been out in society--” Mother snapped to attention, suddenly wide awake. “Oh yes, Georgiana, I’m well aware of the fact that you have already been out in society.

  • Disability and Music
    th nd 19 November to 22 December UKDHM 2018 will focus on Disability and Music. We want to explore the links between the experience of disablement in a world where the barriers faced by people with impairments can be overwhelming. Yet the creative impulse, urge for self expression and the need to connect to our fellow human beings often ‘trumps’ the oppression we as disabled people have faced, do face and will face in the future. Each culture and sub-culture creates identity and defines itself by its music. ‘Music is the language of the soul. To express ourselves we have to be vibrating, radiating human beings!’ Alasdair Fraser. Born in Salford in 1952, polio survivor Alan Holdsworth goes by the stage name ‘Johnny Crescendo’. His music addresses civil rights, disability pride and social injustices, making him a crucial voice of the movement and one of the best-loved performers on the disability arts circuit. In 1990 and 1992, Alan co- organised Block Telethon, a high-profile media and community campaign which culminated in the demise of the televised fundraiser. His albums included Easy Money, Pride and Not Dead Yet, all of which celebrate disabled identity and critique disabling barriers and attitudes. He is best known for his song Choices and Rights, which became the anthem for the disabled people’s movement in Britain in the late 1980s and includes the powerful lyrics: Choices and Right That’s what we gotta fight for Choices and rights in our lives I don’t want your benefit I want dignity from where I sit I want choices and rights in our lives I don’t want you to speak for me I got my own autonomy I want choices and rights in our lives https://youtu.be/yU8344cQy5g?t=14 The polio virus attacked the nerves.

At District Festival we received the superior rating and everybody raved and asked, ‘Where did you get that play?’” (Marion, Va.) “My small Sunday school class has agreed to put on The Happy Scarecrow for our family night ... I have used your play a couple of times in the past and still think it is fun to do.” (Jo Smith, Faith United Methodist Church, Austin, Texas) Drama. By I.E. Clark. Cast: 6m., 5w.
