Truth

Warning! Not a “funny one”. Descriptions of assault and battery, violent words…

From US Poet Laureate Joy Harjo’s masterwork “She Had Some Horses”:

“….She had horses who whispered in the dark, who were afraid to speak.She had horses who screamed out of fear of the silence, who carried knives to protect themselves from ghosts.She had horses who waited for destruction.She had horses who waited for resurrection.

She had some horses.

She had horses who got down on their knees for any savior.She had horses who thought their high price had saved them.She had horses who tried to save her, who climbed in her bed at night and prayed as they raped her.

She had some horses.

She had some horses she loved.She had some horses she hated.

These were the same horses.”
