KAREN H.<br />

SPIDERY LAMENT<br />

As a young teenager, Karen was<br />

raped in the school dark room<br />

by a teacher. She still deals with<br />

the aftermath, but with help and<br />

the passage of time, her life has<br />

improved and she has healed<br />

somewhat. Karen is now a mother,<br />

a health professional and trains with<br />

the Women’s Circus.<br />

39<br />

Constructed so carefully<br />

with guarded decision,<br />

this web to keep you out.<br />

To protect my feelings<br />

and mixed-up thoughts<br />

was my plan.<br />

But now, all that I ind<br />

is me,<br />

trapped inside.<br />

Can I deconstruct this work of art...<br />

in time?<br />
