For Susan

Today a package came,
a birthday present from Susan.
A greeting of welcome,
the next project:
knowing
bringing
craving
desiring
planning.

The next project:
the birth project
the rage of millions
in every woman
of every woman

The next project:
the birds of prey came to call today,
ripping the heart from the womb
leaving
the next project to be
only another project of
knowing, craving and planning.
