Fuck you Freud

Sometimes I would like to rise above this earthly form
beyond pliant, soft, curves
Artemisia painted like a man, her father said
the son of god was crucified but once
the daughter is burned, raped, and beaten every day
not to be taken seriously for my art
because I am only a woman in this, a man’s world…
