Written by Gill O'Halloran   

I went with you she says
From cold polders to
arid ochre plains
I watered dry souls and
I fed the flocks while
pulling their thieving hands off my throat

I went with you she says
From cold polders to
arid ochre plains
I watered dry souls and
I fed the flocks while
pulling their thieving hands off my throat

I lay with you she says
In cool white rooms then
huts with wire and dogs
I took your hand and led you
from wanderlust but
you sucked the sweat of my sex and spat

Broken pastoral terrorist!

Hide in ceaseless deceit
as you sing from the pulpit
of my faithful congregation

Hide in Marxist bibles
as you own my means
of production

Hide in marriage vows
as you fuck every
consecrated word
I drank from you

I served you well she says
from dawn till dusk till
your hard heart was tilled
by my kaffir love.
Still God
could not remove the
stinking stain of your polygyny

About the Author

Gill O'Halloran has been writing for a lifetime, and is the author of a book on addiction, although she has been concentrating on poetry for the last few years. She has been a feminist since she was 18 and had a PING moment, went to Greenham Common, and cut off all of her hair! She is in her 40s now so its grown back but she is still proud to call herself a feminist.

She has had a poem published in Issue 5 of Citizen32 Magazine (UK poetry journal), and was runner up in a lyrics competition held in 2006 for the band The Guillemots. Gill is currently negotiating with a small press publishing house (in Canada) that have expressed interest in producing a book of her poetry in 2008.

Malgorzata Jasinska: Artist Statement

My curse is my gift. My nightmares, deep sensitivity, and emotional instability gives the best (and most uncomfortable) inspirations I could ever have. For me, art is passion - and visions are the mirror, which show my feelings and connect me with the rest of the world.   Read More...
