i am working on something today, it's studio day #2.
i have a task/question/thing.
please don't feel you have to answer this. and if you aren't pro-choice, i'd skip this exercise. it just won't work. and if you're not pro-choice, for god's sake it doesn't mean you can't support my art.
here we go below:
.................
if you have ever had an abortion, or have ever had a loved one, a friend or a girlfriend, or an ex-girlfriend, or a sister, or a cousin, or a daughter, or wife who had an abortion....or you could ever imagine such a thing....
...and you could arm that loved one with with one short message (let's say under about 12 words...no long letter, no paragraphs, DISTILL!) to take into the experience, what would those words be?
maybe thought experiment: if you could leave them on a voice message, or write them on a piece of magical paper that would accompany them into that experience...what would those words be? something to ground them, remind them, keep them safe....
i know many of you have had abortions. you may find it therapeutic to send that note to your younger selves.
and...thank you for doing this. i know it's kind of weird. but i need this sort of stuff to work to write, to think.
and please don't use these comments to argue about abortion politics. go to facebook for that. this here is just for poetry and art.
i love you. we're okay here.
love
