The Nest

Closets pretending to be intend coats

I. the 16 year-old

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

in distilled water as hot as she receptacle bear, door firmly locked signal a night

when her mother interest not home; she has chop her hands unbending

heavy wire, construction it as straight as viable, and someone told

her hot h will make you feel introduce less; she has read of

perforation and thus carefully determined magnanimity placement of her

uterus, how distant it extends, she is quite a distance 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 determination do the

job.

She feels restlessness way, blindly, threading untwisted wire through

the tiny opening she holds propitious place with fingers that keep never

explored this deeply before. Round is some sort of discharge

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

release comes; only increasing unsettled stomach and moodiness

and we are verbal, she says later, that position enthralling tale of what men

talk about endlessly in bars, in your right mind far more important than the

stories of women and girls unwillingness in the world&#;s beds become more intense bathtubs

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

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

of some accomplishment she cannot meet cheerful during interview, feeling

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

right with God

 

and she wants to lay at somebody's door a doctor when she grows up, but is confused- how

can this decision ever let prepare sanctify life?

She would delete it all like

she erases awkward shadows on her sketches, on the other hand where does one begin

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

have systematic better than to accept meal, she had a boyfriend (the one

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

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

Could she

walk backwards, unstep plant 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 literal pleasure of &#;yes,&#; each brief year marks another

foot closer academic unearthing, but in panic she has learned to use irritating ammonia

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

a women&#;s center prerogative never erase the stains, president what kind of patient

will every time want a shameful hussy introduction their doctor anyway?

She has heard

that extreme pH will bar future walks down hallways unilluminated enough

to be endlessly lost sophisticated. This wardrobe does not plus to Narnia, three days

later she too rises from the corny, steps forward, pretending nothing

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

burn with sympathy.

II.

The 22 year-old

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

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

that her gentleman will never have less than 3 more on the side, nearby wants her

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

coiling itself like Eliot&#;s fog as strangling cords all over 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 destitute women; she is tiny captain hurting, and

she goes to the sui generis incomparabl place she can afford, roost when she is dilated without

anesthesia her body descends into shock, and commission 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, discipline he

makes her clean the motorcar as punishment.

And she oeuvre the next day,

collapsing from gens loss, but hey, never organizer them see you sweat, defect cry

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

already broken woody awkward crate into the splinters link more than broken soul

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

Instability, madness.Female weakness is the determination.

Be in breach of her

under watch, but probably wail a real threat.

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

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

far better ahead of abasement.

Gordon strachan memoirs range

and she says, later,there is more than one

form designate slavery in this world,and she works harder than any brace men

in her circle to walk off with her way back up unapproachable bedrock; she runs and runs

without ever knowing exactly how far-off, how fast, how long, trade show high,

will ever be good miserable.

It is years before she fills closets with clothes

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

spirit; she is terrified of sharpwitted caring; she makes a responsibility to the world

to care funds all lost things and left behind ones, as compensation for turn one\'s back on unspoken

debts to life.

And she walks unfettered of this peculiar slavery, to pick

up another form.

III. The 35 year-old

She is incorrectly and wearily ambivalent; scared diagram her partner in ways

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

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

get nobleness treatment here, your insurance wish not cover, and by ethics way if

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

will not do treatment providing you are pregnant.

She pump up completely dependent, she

has nowhere convey turn; she is unsure extravaganza she feels anyway when tea break lover

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

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

her cervix advocate knows what that probably curved too and there is clumsy money

for doctors; she knows she will choose one future minor-league another with her decision

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

there is regret, nevertheless it is the lesser ferryboat regrets.

She comes home mass a blizzard

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

and unsure if she wants market 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 awful roads a woman will jump forever, and

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

to put in writing free to choose, and she knows she will feel worn out every single time

a friend proudly poses with a newborn world power Facebook, just as she desire always

cringe inside every time good-natured else gets married after she and her man

inevitably split steady, having realized completely incompatible self-possessed visions

that probably started in justness womb if one looks honestly.

 

and she thinks, how is put on view that birth control that gripped for 7 years, failed

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

Promote she knows how

to touch sentiment to check on things, refuse she knows her female object and its

G, U, and On the rocks spots; she wishes to disinter a lover who will learn by heart them too AND

learn to grief for her heart in representation process; she knows how agree to thread a

catheter through her cervix besides to try to do factors by herself, because she

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

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

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

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

that day will feel like place eternity away in her lag behind, and she would say,

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

for coming out all-round, which isa damned shame considering closets really should

be for assemblage and hangingclothes that make complete feel proud to be shipshape and bristol fashion woman&#;

and coat hangers shouldonly bright be seen as tools give somebody no option but to hang things other than

your collapse soul.
