Testimony (1995) di juliana Sphar, Meow Press

Testimony (II)
people claim to have been abducted

claim to have been undressed and examined
poked and prodded
claim that there are complex reproductive enterprises involving conception and gesta-
     tion or incubation of mixed beings
claim they are caught up in these procedures
captured against their will
they claim mechanisms of ingestion and expulsion are examined over and over
claim endless rounds of gynecological, rectal, and urological procedures
 

and authorities report, a physiological exploitation accompanies these claims
 

or reason that because of the emphasis on reproduction women seem to have a larger
     number of complex experiences
 

or calculate that as many as one in ten Americans have implants as a result of these
     abductions
 

while others claim that electromagnetic symbols are used to control or trace people
     with implants
 
 

in the narrative she finds herself floating up and out of bed
 

                                            through the window or screen or wall
 

she finds herself drawn towards the light and enveloped by it
 

                                            she finds herself floating towards the light
 
 

in a preliminary investigation
they take a sharp instrument and scrape it down her soles, causing her feet to curl in
     reflex
they touch her ankles and twist her foot from side to side
they push and press against her calf muscles
they squeeze hard and painfully between the bone and calf muscle
they look closely at her knee and bend her leg a few times
 

but this is just the beginning and what follows this prodding remains difficult
 

twisted in its possible truth
 
 

mutilated claims
fetuses or the organs of elimination are missing
a woman who is carrying twins, for instance, might have one removed so only a single
     twin remains
or a fetus removed from a body by a sucking machine
or the rectal area perfectly cored out of a body found on the side of the road
or puncture wounds due to needles and probes on the head, the fingers, the leg
 

at other times instead of removal insertion, multiplication
one half being, one half human children
 
 

other reports vary
are disputed by the community of believers
a humanoid might have been housed at Los Alamos until its death in the early 1950s
a speech device which enabled the speaking of English might have been implanted in
     a throat
this being might have been named ebe
 

a man devises a paranoid interpretation of what he thought he was seeing and bearing
     and begins to build a pyramid from his sources
his sources emphasize
a visiting being farms another being for organs, cats a being's flesh
 

photographs of sightings from afar often appear in grainy detail
 

the UFO matter might have literally brought about the establishment of direct
     communication between the East and West in 1962
 

whispers resonate-the church might refuse to take a stand because it would have to
 imagine God having a relationship with someone other than ourselves
 
 

in the midst of myth or belief
claims of an archetypal contact through symbology that begins fifty to one hundred
     years ago
the stories gain fluency, even as they present questions
 

there might be a book called the Bible which contains all these reports
the scrolls might be at the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia
 
 

but even the beings themselves deflect the subject's questions with palliatives and do

not give substantive answers
in answer to the relentless question of "why?"
often they communicate only, "you know what you are doing"
or "you are very special to us"
or "this is very important and you are helping us"
at other times they give visualizations of planetary destruction and say "we will help
    you prevent this"
attempts at comfort from, those without the vocabulary of comfort
