Mother, Take Me Back
by Kay Kestner:
Mother, Take Me Back
Take me back into the womb.
Mother. Your face has changed.
It has been decades since I left the
safety of you and your ability to keep
me secret, unviewed, loved
only in theory. Hope it is
healthy. Blessing. Baby.
It’s gender, care not.
Just that it be and in being born
it be perfect. Because
each new life is made perfect.
Mother. Take me back to it.
Mother. Take me back
to fresh from the womb.
Flawless. Happy. Healthy.
Sexless. All future. No past.
Perfect. Take me back.

Do Something for Democracy
Nationwide Protests – April 5th, 2025
Visit https://handsoff2025.com/ to find a rally near you.
The resources on the Do Something for Democracy page give you ways you can take action. Find what fits your comfort level. No one can do it all, but we all can do a little something.
Given the rapid changes to our government in the United States, it’s vitally important for us to speak up. Silence and apathy will only embolden a leader who serves his own agenda – an agenda that undermines democracy both within the US and around the world.
Every small act adds up when we all “do something.” Even if it’s just making one call, once a week to one of your representatives – that adds up!
