Free verse № 109
voluntary, premature expulsion of fetal tissue
darkness
as the walls contract
suspended in liquid
empty consciousness
Contractions force unwanted flesh aside
The earth expels another budding life
spiraling down...
cold, stagnant air stings underdeveloped lungs
a hard concrete floor to slip and slide upon
until death's blanket blocks flourescent light
muscular spasms beat the head against the ground...
pain and blood
pain and blood
piercing pain, and slippery blood
drying sticky
turning brown,
Pain becomes a final handle.
Slipping life, slipping life,
popping, crunching, breaking bones;
Bring the light
Kill the night,
a shattering scream putrefies
this ignorant chunk of infected delight
