Spent
Siana-Lea Valencia Gildard
we rip away
the ovaries
of mother earth
crack all her eggs
before the embryos
develop
Control
she didn't ask for
this brutal hysterectomy
that we performed
without consent
We wonder
why she is barren
no longer bearing.children
why she is tired
why the ants bite and
the bees sting
if someone killed my
mother I would retaliate
Inconsistency
the ugly act of rape
can procreate
we do worse than rape
destructive amputation
