Ruined women, in their majesty
And the fathoms deep
Our secrets keep
For the dead we weep
For the sowing others reap
Our Tartarus of tears
Furious floods and future fears
We castaways cower on shifted sand
Survivors of masculinity together band
Taking our lives into our own hand
Even as we are choked by yokes on land
Find hard fought freedom in the sea
Forced together; you and me, we
By alienation of atrocity, alone
Cut down to our very bone
Rebuilt into ostracized others
Into dead sisters and mad mothers
Into monsters made by vicious men
Agonies flung away; boomeranged back again
Inflicted on the cases edge
Forced onto the verge, the ledge
We attempt to thrive
On desert islands, by drive
Verve, vulnerability and vive
That which they meant to deprive
All that is maligned
Bound together, in twine
We, the profound failures of fascist ideals
Toeing ever-narrowing lines, in high heels
Thus restrained and constrained by power
Bake final straws into bricks, and stack a tower
