Of the 8 poems we have been dissecting over the past few class periods I'd have to say that the poems titles " Tell me what you know about dismemberment" is the poem that had me thinking the most. She starts off by saying "when it rains, the grass is filled with blood", this made me think about war and how so many innocent people are killed. Then she speaks of how the wombs of Hindu women were cut out after they were raped and hung on poles. Still thinking about war this picture reminds me of war still. How women are taken advantage of or seriously injured by the soldiers of the enemy at war when they settle in. Towards the end of the poem the author once again speaks of rain and the many different times of rain, this in particular didn't really remind me of anything but the blood of the innocent people of different wars taking place in different places.
