I. DRAWN TO WHAT I FEARED THE MOST: The first melting
When I learned that bullets are frozen tears
Almost flogged
Under the burqa
They blew her up 'cause they could not cut her down
Dust
Going the distance
II. UNRAVELING: Vaginas
more terrifying than scud missiles
The door that blew open
A world of Brendas
The memory of her face: Ciudad Juarez
Waiting for Mr. Alligator
The scariest thing about prison was not the spiked barbed wire
Betty Gale Tyson is free
III. LEAVING MY FATHER'S HOUSE: Reckoning
Free falling
The wave that came and took everything away
IV. FINALLY EXPOSED: INSECURE AT LAST: Smack in the center of America
Down to the zero of myself
Diving
Christmas Eve, 2005
In the name of security, they somehow forgot to protect the people.
