Never once did I abandon
believing
I would contrive
to make my world
whole again.
-Audre Lorde, from Coal

You will become a canary in a castle, but you'll learn plenty of songs. Little girl, watch out for old women and young men. If you don't stay in your tower you're bound for trouble. This too is code. Your body is the tower you long to escape..

--Introduction to the Body in Fairy Tales, Jeannie Hall Gailey
