In France they say if the guy penetrates
But does not ejaculate then he did not rape me
Which is exactly like Russia
Penetrating into Ukraine, penetrating into
Georgia and how do you know if Moscow ejaculates?
And the curious sympathy one feels
When feeling with the hand
The naked meat of the body
Poise on the hips, reclining,
Arm-curving and tightening.
And so the armies of those I love
Engirth me and I engirth them
They will not let me off till
I go with them
Respond to them.
But the first real power I ever had
Was when I lined my own womb
With cement
To make a graveyard
For our children.
