Late one evening, a dear friend Sylvia (last name withheld) confided the account of her personal rape incident. She described the attack in chilling detail and sent me shivers as she recounted how the voice of her intuition saved her life. She revealed how in that unholy space of terror and violation, a quiet voice in her head offered a simple sentence... it was this phrase she repeated just once that literally sent the rapist recoiling into the dark and most likely saved her life. It was most unsettling to learn that this attack occurred right in her own home. The police later discovered that the perpetrator had been in her house numerous times, either while she slept or while she was away. Upon hearing this amazing tale of survival, I reflected on the lyrics Tori Amos confessed in her song, Me and a Gun. I remembered the first time I met Tori, how tiny she was... as a man, I wondered how another could abuse his size and strength in such a selfishly violent act, just to get off. To this day, I remain a humble witness to the power of these two reconciliatory survivors. The song, "Liquid Voices" breathes in their tribute... Jeff Young, October 2002 |

Lyrics
liquid voices
the winds of change
bring a circle of strange
tumbling in a dark
chaotic dance that suspends her
in a moment too long
in the ether
unfamiliar
lost in the moment
before she comes back down
to face a world undeniable
all potential realized
all things nothing at all
no more will she hide
from the memories that haunt
the skin that he took from her
ahh -liquid voices
release her horses
if she's not drowning
with her umbrella upside down
she must be floating
outside herself
in it but not of
a world made for
tearing and pinning her down
no more lies
cut doors and windows
in the boxes of hate
from emptiness she swings
to a graceful escape
no more will she hide
from the memories that haunt
the skin that he took from her
ahh -liquid voices
release her horses
SOLO
reconciliation of
the gemini in us all
no more will she run
from an innocence lost
or the mountains
she conquered
ahh -liquid voices
release her horses
no more will she hide
in these cages of closure
with bars built by vampires
ahh - liquid voices
release her horses
liquid voices
from blood flows intuition
liquid
voices
