Venus walks among us, invisible and stalking.
Men are not her object.
Venus picks women. She chooses them carefully.
They never get away.
Venus picks women. She does not wait ‘til they have grown.
She murders their parents.
Parents do not befit a god.
She puts them on the street.
She puts them into alleys.
She puts them in the hands of the state.
She puts them someplace they’ll run from,
and she destroys whatever they try to run to.
Venus rapes women. She ravages their faces
destroys their hands
mutilates their feet
and when she’s ruined every inch of them save their orifices
she sends a mortal to finish the job
Venus destroys women
usually, Venus kills women
sometimes, Venus takes women
sometimes, Venus fills their tiny bodies
and walks among us for everyone to see
