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 :)
