Room Of Memory
where broken hearts can still beat.
Room of memory,
here’s where I loved him.
I can imagine
where our togetherness
was warm magic laughter for us.
A wild sweet Grace
that time made strange,
and grew into a
giant animal of evil
purely made of our wanting.
Birthed in this place
that lives in me without time.
This world of my heart -
where your ghost
can be heard singing for me
only of our big love.
It’s a warm, hurting wail.
A sound that drives
me from that cherished room,
and that eventually
tears my heart apart.

Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.
