28 APRIL 2013: MAGGIE'S POETRY SELECTION FOR YOUR PLEASURE

(Seated Mother Goddess flanked by two lionesses from Çatalhöyük, Turkey; Neolithic age about 6000-5500 BCE, today in Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara)

I'm not a girl
    I'm a hatchet
I'm not a hole
    I'm a hole mountain
I'm not a fool
    I'm a survivor
I'm not a pearl
    I'm the Atlantic Ocean
I'm not a good lay
 
    I'm a straight razor
look at me as if you had never seen a woman before
I have red, red hands and much bitterness
