Description

Published by Graphite Publishing.
An empowering anthem for women creating their own destinies.

Performed by The Women’s Chorus of Dallas

I’m building a body
from balsam and ash
I’m building a body with
no god attached
I’m building a body
from blueprints in Braille
I’m building a body
where our design has failed

There’s a book full of plans
at the feet of poor Atlas
titled For Man
but the architects
only drew blanks
Now there’s nowhere to go
But go back, go back,
Go back, go back

– Dessa
