The 12 Dancing Princesses

The 12 Dancing Princesses

The youngest
Princess
She's
Different
In some way
(perplexing)

Yes, she
Coerced her
Sisters, but
They're always
Just a little
Less ambitious

This one,
Though - she's
Discovered
Each morning
Exhausted

Feet aching raw

Dress muddied hem

Dry leaf errant-
Clinging eager to
Her lush tangles

Each of the
Formerly
Elegant,
Delicately
Embroidered
Slippers in
Tatters

Sneaking out
Obviously...

Symbolically
Those
Frayed shoes

Clearly
Represents a
Hymen

(Oh some girls are like that)

What can be
Done?

Let's
Write about
Her escapades.

(A lesson)

Overtime
Meaning's
Lost/embedded
Into complexity
Of Subtle
Metaphors
Masquerading
As calf-skin
Apparel
Ribbons
Tiny seed beads
A delicate
In-step

In the way we
Don't tell girls
The truth and
Get really
Specific...

How it smells like

Burnt nutmeg / Sofa pillows / Egg whites
Dampened hair brush bristles / Seven-Up

.....How I imagine the equator looks

Your sister's mitten, discovered in the sandbox, last April

How it won't

Or how it will


And in the end
It's just
A small piece
Of you, it's not
You, yourself

I know
At the heart of it
Every girl longs
To dance
The night away.

Abbott, Elenore. Grimm's Fairy Tales. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1920.

Here is the poem I mentioned from
my research studying the removal of
clitoris in young girls. Don't tell
the real story, they believed. It will
just go away.

RED HAZE
held down by many hands
she fought for release
from this nightmare of horror
her screams
were stifled
by her Mothers hands
a red haze swept over her
pulled her through
shards of glass and
rusty blades

down, down, down into the red`sea
whose screams ripped through her mind?
there were voices,murmers,
"quick sew her up..she bleeds upon the soil."
she floated in a sticky pool of red.
her mother smiled
"tomorrow you will get new sandals."

She broke your throne, she cut
your hair, and from your lips
she drew the Halleluljah.

    Quoting softandsweet44:
    That was lovely. Funny how so much is
    diguised to us through folk tales or poetry.
    "Tell me the real story Mommy."

    Reminded me of a poem I wrote
    regarding the torture when
    women have clitoris removals.
    I didnt want to steal your thunder
    here. Your writing is always such
    a breath of freshness.
Dear Soft and Sweet,

Thank you so much. Actually, if you felt inclined and it were not too personal, I'd very much love to read your poem.
