Control

Shorewood, Wisconsin

The Female Reproductive System. This uterus is blank. White. Anatomically correct. The arm, leg, neck, ear of a person is not political. Why the uterus? Representation. Love. Perspective. Struggle. Hatred. Life. Governing bodies like to control the uterus. Protection. Resistance. My uterus. Resistance. My uterus. My choice. Or is it their uterus, their choice? Black or white. What about red? Pieces of paper. Drops of blood. Women’s histories are being written with human blood.
