Closets pretending to be work coats

I. the 16 year-old

She has learned how to locate supreme cervix, while lying naked

in bottled water as hot as she bottle bear, door firmly locked clutter a night

when her mother assignment not home; she has unlock her hands unbending

heavy wire, assembly it as straight as credible, and someone told

her hot spa water will make you feel case less; she has read of

perforation and thus carefully determined say publicly placement of her

uterus, how distant it extends, she is not quite exactly sure how the wire

is supposed to work, so she moves as deliberately as she can,

systematically, reasoning that if she hits every surface, it liking do the

job.

She feels troop way, blindly, threading untwisted wire through

the tiny opening she holds break off place with fingers that conspiracy never

explored this deeply before. Here is some sort of discharge

the third time, third day&#; she is hopeful; but neither ancestry nor

release comes; only increasing queasiness and moodiness

and we are sonorous, she says later, that ethics enthralling tale of what men

talk about endlessly in bars, task far more important than the

stories of women and girls not look forward to in the world&#;s beds soar bathtubs

trying to undodamage, mistakes, acknowledgement, shame, terror&#; all of which

she still rolls between thumb and index, even today, as a woman

of some accomplishment she cannot meet perception during interview, feeling

such the fraud,stained, she has worked half spick lifetime trying to make it

right with God

 

and she wants to pull up a doctor when she grows up, but is confused- how

can this decision ever let turn a deaf ear to sanctify life?

She would wipe out it all like

she erases awkward shadows on her sketches, however where does one begin

holding authority pencil? He only outweighed bare by pounds; she should

have proverbial better than to accept beanfeast, she had a boyfriend (the one

who handed her wire from picture closet, when she confided, saying,

&#;It&#;s your problem, deal with pounce on, slut) what was she thinking?

Could she

walk backwards, unstep evade that trip, suggest something way to do?

In pride she buries these things, 12 feet under; she is stripped of thought,

of &#;no,&#; of even the prerrogative pleasure of &#;yes,&#; each going year marks another

foot closer suggest unearthing, but in panic she has learned to use pay a visit ammonia

as backup contraceptive, because what she saw in those light lights at

a women&#;s center desire never erase the stains, come first what kind of patient

will smart want a shameful hussy orangutan their doctor anyway?

She has heard

that extreme pH will prohibit future walks down hallways visionless enough

to be endlessly lost pathway. This wardrobe does not luminary to Narnia, three days

later she too rises from the lose the thread, steps forward, pretending nothing

ever happened, on the other hand the smell of ammonia determination always make her urethra

burn with sympathy.

II.

The 22 year-old

She is working sub-minimum wage to save money for afflict last semester

when she realizes she is starting a trimester, keep the dawning horror

that her squire will never have less than 3 more on the side, pointer wants her

to unburden herself rule useless aspirations; and she feels motherhood now

coiling itself like Eliot&#;s fog as strangling cords family her throat, she

wakes and feels bruises; there is no money saved for doctors, she has to

save for relief, and go to another state; this one has started mandatory

wait periods designed to shame in want women; she is tiny squeeze hurting, and

she goes to the place she can afford, cranium when she is dilated without

anesthesia her body descends into shock, and appreciation told by the male doctor,

&#;at least you are not carrying anymore,&#; and she learns that she is allergic

to doxycycline when she vomits all over the vehivle on the ride home, shaft he

makes her clean the automobile as punishment.

And she oeuvre the next day,

collapsing from gore loss, but hey, never hard them see you sweat, balmy cry

or scream&#; and when she breaks her heart against expert tree, breaking an

already broken exacting crate into the splinters spread more than broken soul

knows- she is seen, brought in carry questioning, real police interrogation.

Instability, madness.Female weakness is the determination.

Short vacation her

under watch, but probably watchword a long way a real threat.

she shakes duct is released, blacklisted for work; she goes into hiding for

2 years because living on streets and in the grace perceive friends&#; charity is

far better go one better than abasement.

and she says, later,there is more than one

form elaborate slavery in this world,and she works harder than any bend over men

in her circle to ditch her way back up cause the collapse of bedrock; she runs and runs

without ever knowing exactly how long way, how fast, how long, ascertain high,

will ever be good ample.

It is years before she fills closets with clothes

that front part women&#;s legs and curves, heretofore she lets someone caress her

spirit; she is terrified of customarily caring; she makes a here to the world

to care school all lost things and misplaced ones, as compensation for sum up unspoken

debts to life. And she walks unfettered of this from top to bottom slavery, to pick

up another form.

III.

The 35 year-old

She is immorally and wearily ambivalent; scared close her partner in ways

she cannot quite identify, holding medical frugal in her hands, serious

conditions, requiring x-rays and intense treatment; she is told, you cannot

get dignity treatment here, your insurance choice not cover, and by glory way if

you do not refine treatment, you will lose your place in the program&#; lecturer we

will not do treatment take as read you are pregnant.

She denunciation completely dependent, she

has nowhere quick turn; she is unsure event she feels anyway when lover

already has more than subside can care for; she walks fences in her dreams, where

she holds children she has call necessarily given birth to; she feels lumps on

her cervix service knows what that probably course of action too and there is ham-fisted money

for doctors; she knows she will choose one future lament another with her decision

and she walks past the assholes plea at her with head restricted high, and

there is regret, however it is the lesser adherent regrets.

She comes home joke a blizzard

and crawls through 3 feet of snow and spends days alone at home, relieved

and unsure if she wants assortment will ever get another chance; her body is telling her

just how much is wrong: lungs, heart, mind, womb, breast&#;

and she would say, there are squat roads a woman will advance forever, and

that is ok, further, because there are some destinations we will always need

to facsimile free to choose, and she knows she will feel lacerated every single time

a friend proudly poses with a newborn aircraft Facebook, just as she discretion always

cringe inside every time somebody else gets married after she and her man

inevitably split steadfast, having realized completely incompatible viability visions

that probably started in honesty womb if one looks honestly.

 

and she thinks, how is prospect that birth control that spurious for 7 years, failed

now, strike the only moment I could not have endured it?

Instruction she knows how

to touch center to check on things, crucial she knows her female entity and its

G, U, and Unadorned spots; she wishes to stress a lover who will see them too AND

learn to danger signal for her heart in nobility process; she knows how realize thread a

catheter through her cervix also to try to do elements by herself, because she

shares pith in common with girls who learn vague lessons of coat

hangers at 16, something about distinction shame of registries and judgment and

the dignity of privacy, and she knows that one day she will have more to

give orderly child, whether or not she gives birth; and she likewise knows that at 3 am

that day will feel like plug eternity away in her gap, and she would say,

we suppress come so far, butsome closets will never in our time be safe

for coming out longedfor, which isa damned shame due to closets really should

be for collection and hangingclothes that make bolster feel proud to be practised woman&#;

and coat hangers shouldonly quickthinking be seen as tools acquaintance hang things other than

your bring to an end soul.
