PROFILE

she created overheated characters

who were punished and dismissed

women who were raised by manuals

balancing her burden of flesh

(can’t you control your flesh?)

until she was caught defying 
     the patriarchy

now she is no longer the person 
    who hurt him 

the beautiful woman 
so in need of money

but a corpse in the ground

‘Protestant whore!’

Rationem inire:

When objectification is combined
with modesty and virtue well

the issue then has to do
with the flesh of women from which meaning
is extracted she shed the wife and mother

and became only a young

beautiful woman in need of money

taking her place
briefly in the sun
