Heartbeat
sentience
new muscle
neonatal curiosity
the death urge
comes from birth
Cracking
Crack-Cracking
fractures turn to tears
writhing on the ground
the poison tooth comes loose...
...corrosion drips out from the mouth
burning skin shed from the embryo
draped over shoulders
caressed by the cold
in a wet, warm place
placenta in tatters
sinks below
makes fertile the soil
a garden in suspense
foliage floats along
the ethereal fault
to be swallowed once again
a garden in suspense
to be swallowed once again...
