TITLE: It's OK-She Isn't Real
By Roberta Franklin

Sometimes it becomes necessary to deny reality in order to justify one's choices. There is always more than one victim in this circumstance.
She fell into the night
pierced through and torn
limb
from limb
Shorn of mortal life
So short it was all she knew
of flesh and bone
No breath
Alone--the pulsing beating heart

The other
swaddled liquid dark
smooth walls of flesh
rejected, flushed away.

She walks now
with her aborted heart
Bereft
Denied
But accepted
By the womanhood of choice
Whose politics are haunted
By the soul without a voice.
