Chiapas

(Alyson Greenfield)
Somewhere down in Chiapas she said she had a lot of men running around, with their heads cut off like chickens. But her mother was afraid by all she had heard in the states
about misdeeds and disappearances. Yeah, somewhere down in Chiapas she said she had a lot of men running around with their heads cut off like chickens. I said that sounds Amazon, as if you're afraid of men growing strong . You rip their hearts out and keep them to dine on. What about sensitivity? And a right to a man feeling free? You know they're stuck in the confines too of this patriarchy. But what about the love? What about the men? What about these times and the women? Well you know H.D. and her old poems, and her bringing in the feminine mystique, Mother Right, Myth. Circles and time and shapes we play with. I think we can bring it all in, the good and the sinful. We can do it if we strip down to our bare bones, our heart of hearts. Our love of love, our love of life, and make it right. Somewhere down in Chiapas people were looking for martyrs. Looking for their men, and looking for their women.
