woman's ritual

we load our voice wrapped in thin
paper into the back end of cars

framed retuned colored red

haul it out take it there haul it in

over a mountain
down an alley

we unload our voice deep within
squared buildings beyond the lock

unfold within an oval

we voice our load

some
some hear
some hear see
some hear see touch

we load our voice wrapped in thin
paper into the back end of cars

our loaded voice

haul it out take it home haul it in
