Shulamith Speaks

It’s also speech—those words his body chalks on me, and I on him, our sheet-white terms which need no voice to occupy a room. I can talk about his collarbone for weeks but don’t. I’d rather touch his face, become his skin’s interpreter. Why should I shake our sleep with languages? What breaks inside the mechanism when our limbs are labeled Arm or Leg?

                  The hinges creak. Our flesh-and-blood machine which used to hum, self-lubricating, metrical, will jam where wheels collide with wheels: the axle spokes, the teeth, the slot and corresponding hook, not thrumming ecstasy, but stopped and dumb.

  • Thanks for the advice on credit repair on this particular site. The things i would offer as advice to people is usually to give up the actual mentality they will buy right now and pay out later. Like a society most of us tend to try this for many things. This includes vacation trips, furniture, along with items we would like. However, you need to separate the wants out of the needs. If you are working to fix your credit score actually you need some sacrifices. For example you are able to shop online to save money or you can check out second hand retailers instead of expensive department stores with regard to clothing.
