Faceless, sometimes nameless women carry the weight of man. They offer shoulders to stand on, bind the wounds of sought glory, and bring forth sons for future foolishness.

Awaits the thunder

Intent on spooking
The thoroughbred
The man tossed at her hem
Damn, yet he breathes

You did not remember
You must die
I kept what was your innocence
And scattered your ashes
Your echo hangs on my study wall
Like a taxidermy lioness

Are you the voyeur or the voyee?
You draw back the foliage, seeking what?
You’re surprised.
You expected vulnerability,
Not judgement.
Nothing more threatening than -
A self assured young woman.

Women placed on a plinth for adoration are not loved. They are a glorified object, possession, ornament. Engagement not necessary, Conversational exchanges irrelevant. It is amazing how quickly the plinth can become a cliff’s edge escape. #FragileNarratives #Collaboration #Art Sally Kirk
