the pregnant pause every dream grows red with meaty blood, full up in miscarried globules and heart-shaped placenta the belly ballooned steadily by degrees up and up fingers feel into flesh the firm, rounded edge which writes the shapes of knees and backs and rounded crown the babe blossoms in my brain, slowly unfurled from tadpole to floppy limbs and too-flexible joints. so it is a strange revelation - this empty womb, its depths feel too hollow and too small it is vacant and lacking in space for any sort of fullness. nothing here. and yet i rub the skin below the navel, searching out the origin, finding no one home but me. posted by anna kiss @ 2/14/2008 01:20:00 AM |
