Shapeshifter
I go
from blending in with the walls
to sucking up every particle of light in the room.

"Have you ever done theater?w
"No, whys
"You are very expressive."
Today a man said this to
me.
I realized that finally after 20 years, I have learned, without even realizing it, not to think of my womanhood in the traditional sense.
Femininity is grimace, it is noise.
Letting go and embracing being chaotic, hard, unpleasant.
When your being a woman no longer amounts to being graceful and composed, you taste a bite of freedom.

Il guardiano aveva appena finito di lucidare la targa in memoria dei coniugi Andria, all’esterno della villa fatiscente e trascurata, quando un fulmine squarciò il cielo in due, facendo imprecare l’anziano sottovoce. «Lavoro e tempo sprecato», pensò.
La pioggia cominciò a battere insistentemente sui vetri della serra. L’odore della terra umida impregnava l’aria. Aurora, al suono della porta che si chiudeva, posò il quaderno dove annotava i progressi delle sue piante: le azalee erano meravigliose in quel periodo.
«Non credevo fossi qui», ansimò Filippo. Era bagnato fradicio.
«Dove altro dovrei essere? Piove a dirotto».
«In giardino, a prenderti cura del tuo aconito».
La ragazza gli rivolse uno sguardo di rimprovero. Lui si zittì.
Non se ne parlava di cosa fosse accaduto quel giorno; era meglio non pensarci.
Aurora, spazientita, si girò dandogli le spalle, «cosa ne sarebbe stato del tuo piano, senza di me? Smettila di vessarmi, hai avuto ciò che volevi».
«Ti prendo in giro, sorellina», tagliò corto, «devo contarti per cena?».
Non avrebbe mai ammesso di aver iniziato a temere Aurora, ma da quel giorno si era sempre guardato dal far preparare il the a sua sorella.

What more do you want?
Typical male response to any kind of request or observation from a discriminated group.
Bold of you to assume that crumbs would be enough for us.
I have always found the equality talk meaningless. We are not equal. Nor do we want to be. Is it so wrong to admit that I don't want to be equal to a man? I don't want HIS rights. I don't want to fight for possibilities that he was handed on a silver platter from birth.
Don't know if this makes sense.
Maybe I am too radical, pissed off, aggressive. was taught that all this makes you undesirable. To whom? To men, of course.
I don't want to be appealing.
I don't want to be meek.
Not to them.

“Dal primo giorno che ho scritto, io non ho mai voluto e saputo essere altro che una fedele e umile cronista della mia memoria. Mi sono affidata all’istinto e non credo che mi abbia ingannato.”

To be alive: not just the carcass
But the spark.
That's crudely put, but…
If we're not supposed to dance,
Why all this music?
