Theft of Property A Poem By Elizabeth Gade

Theft of property. A poem by Elizabeth Gatie first published in the online journal Synchronicity. Wild issue. They said I was a w**** before I'd even kissed a boy. And so it was weaponized my body against me. Me. Molded me into a container for men. Bastardized. Eve villainized, medusa. Distorted the meaning of virgin. Robbed us of our sexual agency, pillaged our wounds for generations of wounding
