Let the wolverines howl

A poem from the You tear us series

The wolves howl at night.
The wolves howl, and so do I.

Take me, wolverine, on your wuthering heights
wuthering might

Where I can cry out the loneliness of sexes withered
Where I can cry out the terror of sexes bruised
Where all those millions of ravaged vaginas will find their voice

My voice
My voice weaves its delirium in the strength of the Earth

O mothers, grandmothers of all lands, come to me
in my voice!
Let the wolverines howl; let men calm down
and cease to scatter themselves
in the McDonald’s of ideas

My voice, our voice, O mothers
will be that of our freedom.
