Background Image
A strong woman is a woman who craves love like oxygen or she turns blue choking. a strong woman is a woman who loves strongly and weeps strongly and is strongly terrified and has strong needs. a strong woman is strong in words, in action, in connection, in feeling; she is not strong as a stone but as a wolf suckling her young. strength is not in her, but she enacts it as the wind fills a sail.

More From Marge Piercy

The weeping of the guitar begins. the goblets of dawn are smashed. the weeping of the guitar begins. useless to silence it. impossible to silence it. it weeps monotonously as water weeps as the wind weeps over snowfields. impossible to silence it. it weeps for distant things. hot southern sands yearning for white camellias. weeps arrow without target evening without morning and the first dead bird on the branch. oh, guitar! heart mortally wounded by five swords.
Morning Heart Guitar
Literature was not born the day when a boy crying "wolf, wolf" came running out of the neanderthal valley with a big gray wolf at his heels; literature was born on the day when a boy came crying "wolf, wolf" and there was no wolf behind him.

We walked on the beach, fed blue corn ships to the seagulls, and munched on blue jelly beans, blue saltwater taffy and all the other free samples my mom brought home from work. i guess i should explain the blue food. see, gabe had once told my mom there was no such thing. they had this fight, which seemed like a really small thing at the time. but ever since, my mom went out of her way to eat blue. she baked blue birthday cakes. she mixed blueberry smoothies. she bought blue-corn tortilla chips and brought home blue candy from the shop.

Just me, just me sweet marie, she loves just me (she also loves maurice mcghee). no she don't, she loves just me (she also loves louise dupree). no she don't, she loves just me (she also loves the willow tree). no she don't, she loves just me! (poor, poor fool, why can't you see she can love others and still love thee.)

Every thing thinks, but according to its complexity. if this is so, then stones also think...and this stone thinks only i stone, i stone, i stone. but perhaps it cannot even say i. it thinks: stone, stone, stone... god enjoys being all, as this stone enjoys being almost nothing, but since it knows no other way of being, it is pleased with its own way, eternally satisfied with itself.
Thinking Stones Way
We breed dogs to be more social than the wolf. there is very interesting research that has been done with a wolf and a domestic dog. if you have a tamed wolf and you have him sit in front of the experimenter or stand in front of his master and his two dishes, one to the right, one to the left – so that the dog or wolf see the food put in the left hand dish but the owner points to the right – the domesticated will go where owner points, whereas the the wolf goes right where he saw the meat thing put. in other words, in a dog social cue from a master can override where he saw the being placed.

If a picture wasn't going very well i'd put a puppy dog in it, always a mongrel, you know, never one of the full bred puppies. and then i'd put a bandage on its foot... i liked it when i did it, but now i'm sick of it.
