silence of the lambs

they’re eating the dogs!
they’re eating the cats!
they’re killing the songbirds in Afghanistan
women barred from praying reciting poetry
singing +speaking loud enough to hear eachother
be careful what you ask for bros when the last
songbird falls the sound of high fives of beer jingles
of soccer jeers of mine’s BIGGER than yours will
ricochet thru temples emptied of the fairest sex
who birthed the beasts now wreaking revenge
for coming
from that place
vagina dentata + mucosa
so
MAN UP! boys

..in Iran women can be stopped by the secret police
and subjected to body cavity searches on the street
at the whim of ultra religious men..

Fall 2024 ..bearing witness to the return of hate..
