Stone

She held the stone outside that sculptor's dwelling
It was her own and solitary : "Gates of Hell"
The child of her desire for copulation/his rejection thereof
Who is greater, she or he? Rodin is august,

But what of her experience on the outside of his radius?

And in a square chamber Kollwitz helps us
Also become a stone or metal mother wrapped around
That which is most precious to her : who can bear it?
Although it is stone or metal alone.

I'd like to curl on her doorway just like a mistress.

I am the mother of the stillborn child of my love.
