For All Those...

For all those who died - stripped naked, shaved, shorn.

For all those who screamed to the Great Goddess, only to have their tounges ripped out by the root.

For all those who were pricked, racked, broken on the wheele for the sins of their inquisitors.

For all those whose beauty stirred their torturers to fury; and for those whose ugliness did the same.

For all those who were neither ugly nor beautiful, but only women who would not submit.

For all those quick fingers, broken in the vice.

For all those sofe arms, pulled from their sockets.

For all those budding breasts, ripped with hot pincers.

For all those midwives, killed merly for the sin of delivering man to an imperfect world.

For all those Witch women, my sisters, who breathed freer as the flames took them, knowing as they shed their female bodies, the seared flesh falling like fruit on the flames, that death alone would cleanse them of the sin which they died - the sin of being born a woman who is more than the sum of her parts.
