    The poem depicts a sunset over the river as a metaphor for female sexuality and birth. The sunset is described as the goddess Isis squatting over the water, with her thighs opening and angry uterus writhing and heaving bloody scarlet streams of clouds. The sun is splitting the sky while birthing and dying, curved over latitudes to a different dawn and new stars. The document also provides publication details for Sinister Wisdom, including subscription rates and address.

    the rape our lack of language:

    last night Boston November


    the river flat pewter veined with light

    "you can't write poems about sunsets, the ocean, or love"


    explained my Expos teacher freshman year

    prick

    sunsets are nonlinear Isis


    squats over the water Her
    thighs opening Her
    great angry Uterus heaving writhing
    bloody scarlet streams of clouds
    sun splitting sky birthing dying
    curved over latitudes
    to a different dawn

    a different set of suckling stars.

    -Susan Leigh Star
