Fissure
I tore the thin skin
of my own daintiness
my scream penetrated
all the rooms stopping time
so for a moment there was no breath
this disease I would prefer
a blow to think that
water coursing is
causal of the split
inside all my
self is shriven
ghosts are given up
to the effort of the next day where
the tender kiss of paw paw
sudocrème trails whisps of
early motherhood where
late senescence walks
fetch me doughnuts please
now seat me
find my throne
How eloquently you describe the pain! A fine poem indeed :)
