It falls into ruin by its own weight

after Kiki Smith

Let’s punish all those women.

Let’s punish them hard.

Let’s make it so their babies

fall out of them

like red splotches

and their bodies are open

to whatever invasion we choose.

Let’s show those women

they can’t be trusted

with the frangible innards

we’ve taken so much time

to cultivate.

Let’s haul out of them bodies

what we came for,

new stock, new

civilization.
