My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

Chrysalis
The year is 1991 and I live in Kununurra with my husband. Unfortunately, marriage does not suit either of us. We tend to live our own lives, while residing under the same roof, with the exception of when he would get drunk. Then he would take me on an extremely abusive, physically and emotionally, wild roller coaster ride.

Virginity - Intact Yes Or No?
I was reading this article by Yewande Adeleke, called The Shocking History of Virginity Testing, published on another platform. It's a brilliant article on the historical ritual of testing that a woman's virginity is still intact.The article goes on to describe the barbaric rituals that women suffered in the middle ages, and beyond, by being tested in this way.
