NO LONGER NEEDED(when a rounded belly becomes a crime)It's past midnight,samples of uterine tissueregenerate in a quiet laboratory.Meanwhile, the Earth has turned into a desert.Dressed in grey,a woman walks in the cold.She just stepped out of the labyrinthof chemical realityand is finally free to think for herself.She woke up...

BITS AND PIECESSeconds before the end,like just before an earthquake,a dog howled and a flock of seagullsflew from above the roof.I felt it too, all over my skinand also deep within,digging, as fast as I could,to hide the treasured seeds,that would allow me to riseand grow from my shattered self,one day.Then, the whole world ...

DENIAL?Isn't this a happy sight?If you lean out just a little,from that window in the ocher room,you will see her sunburned faceas she plays among the trees in bloom.Isn't she a happy girl?You see, space and time don't matter,so you shouldn't be surprisedto see her tighten her tiny toesin her white sandals, as she goes.Don't ...

Rooted and tall, immortal yet vulnerable, she gives birth and listens to the dead. Shedding her dried skin, like the lining ... More..
