PresENCE

“Skeleton Woman saw the tear glisten in the firelight and she became suddenly soooo
thirsty. She tinkled and clanked and crawled over to the sleeping man and put her mouth
to his tear. The single tear was like a river and she drank and drank and drank until her
many-years-long thirst was slaked.
 
While lying beside him, she reached inside the sleeping man and took out his heart, the
mighty drum. She sat up and banged on both sides of it: Bom Bomm!.....Bom Bomm!
As she drummed, she began to sing out "Flesh, flesh, flesh! Flesh, Flesh, Flesh!" And the
more she sang, the more her body filled out with flesh. She sang for hair and good eyes
and nice fat hands. She sang the divide between her legs, and breasts long enough to wrap
for warmth, and all the things a woman needs."
                                                                           from "The Skeleton Woman," retold by Clarissa Pinkola Estés                                                       in Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype.
