The Birth of a Woman

Drowning in a lucid dream — Everyone is in a line. We are put in perfect order, each woman mixed among the men and forced to stand straight for the ceremonial picking. Each one of us has an abnormality, a piece of us that we need to work on to complete each other. It’s beautiful and…
