What is recorded here

Mortons and every other human family in the world forgot the chamber because the chamber stopped belonging to them. The chamber belongs to the dead woman and the living woman and the woman who has never been born. The chamber is a room in the house of the woman who is pregnant with the world. The chamber is a door in the skin of the woman who is birthed by the world. The chamber is a cup in the hand of the woman who is drunk on the world.
