I don't know her like my momma but I am glad that i don't because if i
would have been one of her kids i might have been aborted!
When does a woman take abortion too far? When is it inhumane?
In the case of Ms. Lucille, I got this gut inclination that out of the 6
kids that remained, a whole bunch of them didn't make it. The girl started
talkin' bout shovin hangers insider her like old school 3rd world countries
in an earlier poem that she wrote called " Blessing the Boat" The lady is
aborting these "almost" bodies. By any means I assume. So she gets pregnant
in the poem and decides to ditch the kid like the 17-year old prom date
from Hell. In this poem she decided to drown the 'almost' body that she may
or may not have ripped out with a hanger.
Her reason for this cruel and unusual punishment in the poem is less
complex than the real possible reason(s). But in the poem she likes to
(what I call) "blaim it on the rain" She begins to whine about what she
doesn't have, a car, a coat, lights in the cold of a Canadian winter. Do
you have pity? Empathy?
Well I don't! I have been there and done that but what I have not
experienced is the hurt that could hurt a woman so deeply by a man that
would make a woman feel compelled to rip up the walls of her uterus and
tear off that which is feeding off of it's nourishment.
I ask myself a worse case scenario question and wonder what would feel
worse than ripping a child out of my uterus? I answer, " probably having an
old creepy family member thrust himself inside said uterus". So it makes me
curious to know if that is the reason that this woman has chosen to
terminates this baby's life. It sucks that people are rippin' kids all out
of their uterus' all Willy Nilly compared to all the couples trying to have
just one.
Well Lucille Clifton was blessed with 6. How they are doing today? I am not
sure. If any of you read this article I would love to talk to you about
your family.
So she sends the baby down the 'Hudson', and she's wants to explain to you
why she did it. Like I said her excuses were weak but she ends in her last
attempts to baffle her readers on her exact reasons why. It is interesting
because it appears to me that she is saying some sort of ceremonial chant
in the end. She says that if she is anything less than a mountain to the
other brothers and sisters the decapitated fetus would have had if she
chosen to bring it into the world, she will understand why she is being
killed. Or punished or taken away from the world.
This poem is weird, suicidal, filled with sin and a brief horror. The most
insane part of the poem to me, is the end where her little chant that she
does to the spirit Gods still involves black men. Why not deal with this
issue when you was giving us reasons that you aborted the child in such a
savage way. Is the black man that created the child the real root and the
reason that she doesn't even want to see the child's face form in his
father's likeness?
If I am correct this is pathetic. Her poem is quite interesting but I am
through because as a black woman that has been through her share of life's
problems, I say Keep Mashin'! Keep Pushing! Thank GOD for every blessing
you receive and like my momma used to say "your children are your rice".
