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
