You unleash the carnage of your vengence against this land,
that once stood
like your body
in perfection.
You take understanding that had the intimacy of a heart beat and confound it,
darken the meaning of the light that stretches from one horizon to the other,
Silence the rain that falls like tears of compassion,
and the wind that pants like breath in flight,
Crush what grows like hope and fear,
Deny the uncurling grasp of your baby’s fist,
along with the fluttering lids of your dying lover, mother, father, sister, brother.
Conduct a Surgery Upon the Land That is Your Body
Mint new coins to place upon your eyes,
Write new histories to obscure your lies,
Draw new boundaries to divide you
from who you were and what is left of you.
This is no less than War
Yet this is You
Killing
You.
