A dream of patriarchy

When I was 29 I had a dream I will never forget

The scene was dark.

Pitch black and the blackest red.

In the black was a cold, stone slab.

On it was me.

Stripped and naked and surrounded by them all.

All of them.

No faces, just bodies. Except my dad and my beloved.

They cut me at the wrists and the ankles to see if I would live.

The blood drained out of me and I grew tired

So tired.

When they saw that I would live, my beloved made me pregnant.

I was strong enough to create life.
