Ribs plucked from a cage Like fingers from jointless seams, And a stripped palm blossoms. White marrowed iron, A field pronged belly with stakes of bone, Find a frozen wind and pregnant breath there, In hive lungs. Nests, swollen of shattered wasps, They're fencing back broken glass, I can hear their fire- It is perfect. May I open your gates? So that I might fashion rungs from your breast And climb fractured steps To the beating life in your chest, To tear it from those hands of a broken mother, And spit in her face as she seeks comfort, For I have taken her son. These wounds, Mended by our death... It is something I pray for.
