She Really Tried


Nature tried to write this poem,

she really tried!

but the men who assailed her hammered

her right down,



her virtues both lush and crisp

sacrificed to the bastards

humping and dumping her precious ways

with thuggish dicks rolled in

vulgar corporate coarseness,

and no words

found their way home to poetry.



She wanted to believe in humans,

she really tried!

but every time she was blasted and fracked,

and for a few months after,

she cried tight immensities of tears

that they refused to hear,

that they never cared about if they did.



She wanted so sharply to be loved,

just to be loved!

Her pink labial flowers and her veiled waters

were just a place to dump jizz,

the fragile fruits of her countless breasts

there to be grappled

by the apes of lust, greed and power,



thrusting the sonnets back down her

sacred wild wellspring,

violated as fuck,

mute as the unearthed seed.
