A Womb Worth Using
Sloughing off the lining
the gunk of forty-one years
pulling
tearing
clawing
out the new old exit below
All the putrid bile
of what to think
the knotted clots
of what to do
the rotted flesh
of giving in
Sluicing clean
the walls
Tender
Sparkling
Ready
to give birth
to the half-century me
