Birth


rainbox flutters
into open piano
while she is
singing of
girls drowning
in their own oceans

(materialization craves more than skin)

insinuation
of
uterus
dipped in
chemicals
in the
institution
(screaming)vernacular

speedy with deposit
pushed out of the ocean
I am sucking air to get away from
aching belly
full of beetles and washed linen
 I tear up little pieces of
delicate flavor
sinewy cream sweetness
licking my eyelashes
turning solid heat into frost
