Title: Offence 8 defence
First published: 1998
Description: "Blue is the colour of all mothers / since fathers / were guided into responsibility / by the ego limb" (Mary Queen of Hearts) She knows things little girls just shouldn't and sings these lyrics, which are half in the ideal, half in horror. She is waist deep in a dream, wading through the weight of it. Makes me want to hug her all the more.
