My mother had two faces and a frying pot
where she cooked up her daughters
into girls
before she fixed our dinner.
My mother had two faces
and a broken pot
where she hid out a perfect daughter
who was not me
I am the sun and moon and forever hungry
for her eyes.
I bear two women upon my back
one dark and rich and hidden
in the ivory hungers of the other
mother
pale as a witch
yet steady and familiar
brings me bread and terror
in my sleep
her breasts are huge exciting anchors
in the midnight storm.
All this has been
before
in my mother's bed
time has no sense
I have no brothers
and my sisters are cruel.
Mother I need
mother I need
mother I need your blackness now
as the august earth needs rain.
I am
the sun and moon and forever hungry
the sharpened edge
where day and night shall meet
and not be
one.

Onları anlıyorum. Bir keresinde ben de kendimi “Sürdürülebilirlik, her şeye yapıştırdığımız ama hiçbir şey ifade etmeyen yeni moda bir kelime.” diye düşünürken yakaladım. Bazen gerçekten de öyle. Halbuki en basit haliyle sürdürülebilirlik, doğal kaynaklarını israf etmeden ve tüketmeden yaşamak anlamına geliyor. Bizden sonraki nesle bırakacağımız dünyanın hiç olmazsa bizim devraldığımız dünya kadar iyi durumda olmasını sağlamak anlamına geliyor. Bu acayip bir hippi ideali değil, bir aklıselim meselesi. Peki insanlar sürdürülebilir bir toplum kurma kabiliyetine sahip mi? Yoksa iş işten geçti mi? Pek çok biliminsanı, Antroposen (Yunanca insan anlamına gelen antropostan geliyor) adı verilen bir jeolojik çağın içinde olduğumuzu düşünüyor. Bu da insanın gezegen üzerindeki etkisinin tektonik levha hareketlerine veya volkanik patlamalara denk olduğunu belirtiyor. İnsanlık, küresel ve yıkıcı sonuçlarıyla bir doğa kuvveti haline gelmiş vaziyette.

Mother of the lost tribe
Madonna of the magnetic earth
Madonna exuding the nectar of spiritual sensuality
Madonna of the lonely wanderer
Madonna of the empty handed
Madonna of the abandoned child
Madonna of the blood and the wound
Madonna of our broken hearts
Madonna in the palms of our hands
Madonna of the sins of the fathers
Madonna of the world of darkness and the world of light
Madonna of the mystery and the revelation
Madonna of the unspoken, the suppressed, the secrets and the truth-telling
Mother who guards the amber box scented with myrrh containing the cords of all humanity
Mother who holds in her heart the innocence at the core of all people
Mother who sees our oneness
Mother who is our shelter
Mother of the temple of eternal and triumphant truth
Mother who grants us freedom, her child blooming from her breast
Ecstasy of the illuminated merger with the Feminine Divine
Mother who redeems us from the time of deception
Mother of justice and equality
Mother of the golden treasury of humanity’s love
Mother of Africa, the birthplace of us all
Mother of all faiths and all people
Mother, the only one who can restore the order of the order, and
Liberate us from this time of affliction.
Remove the curse of our ignorance, Mother.
Come out from where you are removed from us
Into the light of our unity.
Walk with us.
Show your face
And redeem your people.

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
– William Wordsworth (1802)

Aslında histerinin geniş tarihi tanımı rahmi ve kontrolden çıkmış kadınlık hormonlarını işaret etse bile, kadınları dezavantajlı konuma getirmek yerine onları yükselten, zihinlerini sivrilten, cinsiyet politikalarının gerçeklerinden yararlanmalarını sağlayan ve eleştirel düşünme yeteneklerini jilet gibi keskin hale gelene kadar bileyen tam da bu şeylerdi.
