to other

last night had a very acerbic and incendiary argument with the tigress on gender and feminism
full of an invective of violation and the angst of being 'sublated'

'humanity is male and man defines woman not in herself but as relative to him;she is not regarded as an autonomous being........He is the subject,he is the Absolute--she is the Other'------Simone de Beauvoir

to__________as the dishonoured heir
of adam's multiplying world
as a sufferer too
and a traveller in time
as a partaker of his crime

to__________as the first womb
of motion
in the forward flow of time
the first word for untrained tongues
as pieta,the redeemer of a penitent christ
