The Unwifeâs Garden
by Eloise Yarvin
(Is not, and has not been connected to any current or past administration.)
Greeting fellow Spittersâtodayâs subversion comes from a file marked REDACTED and a woman they failed to train...
She found the garden behind a boundary fence marked "UNSAFE â NO ENTRY â EXPIRED TEST SITE."
It didnât look like much: a tangle of wild basil, rusted trellises, poppies erupting through cracks in the concrete. But something in the air hummed with rebellionâlike the plants had grown despite instruction, not because of it.
A woman stood there barefoot. Gray streaked her hair. Her apron was stained with roots. She didn't smile. She didnât greet. She handed the girl a wooden trowel and said:
âThis was my motherâs. It survived the repatriation. So did I.â
They didnât talk much. But the silence wasnât empty. It was full of things the ward had erased: names not on forms. Joy not scheduled. Touch not surveyed.
The woman didnât ask if she was a wife. She didnât care if she was obedient.
She only said this:
âThe state called me barren. But everything I plant grows.â
They dug together until dusk. Weeds gave way to seed. Silence gave way to trust.
When the girl finally asked her name, the woman didnât say it.
She sang it.
She walked out of the ward. We walk with her now.
The story lives where they tried to erase us.
âThey exiled our goddesses. We brought them back in ink. Tip the heresy.â
