Print.MARLENE KADARTo have a daughterThose many times when young women think they can bake a cakeTurned aroundAnd off they have gone which is what they said you wanted them to do(and you know what she means)Does not really capture the contextIn which things said protect.Those many times when young women think that mothers humoured will be quiet,Keep love contained, free her for other loves. Turned aroundAnd every message as if Rossetti or AkhmatovaJust like she said it would be, far away, not seeing the streets she walks along,The shops she passes or the beer and urine cocktail she smells when the sun bakesthe sidewalks.Cannot really capture the contextBy the time you hear her voice againShe is 28 years old and living in BrooklynTurned around, oh great joy.Marlene Kadar is a Toronto writer and Professor in Humanities and Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies at York University.CWS/cfDon’t miss a single issue!subscribe today!www.cwscf.caINANNA PUBLICATIONS — SPRING 2018www.inanna.ca
