Morse code translation of Ingrid De Kok's poem Women and Children First
Women and Children First
It’s always been so.
This makes it worse.
Women and children first.
First to be hurt
Last to be nursed.
It’s always been so.
When rumour stalks
First to be cursed.
And worse.
Turned out, inside out.
Only safe in the hearse.
Women and children first.

That's it! I truly appreciate your offer to sit with me and meditate on the womanly experience; "procreating inside oneself" in Lucy Irigaray's words, and the work of the female body. It is a natural connection, one I look forward to examining with you in depth and over many months, years. I think it is just the next level of collaboration from this blog. Sorry I could not articulate that clearly over the phone. Thanks, Angela
