Scarlet Baby

I made a baby
she burned like
fire coming through

The midwife’s hands
grew with blood

Death peered around the corner
begging me to touch her

I ate the placenta
Like an omelet

I buried
a gloom
beneath the
lemon tree

Now I have a shield
It burns like ice

A man
and his swords
with their shiny shafts
stands at the gate

My skin will
not stretch
releasing scars

My nipples will
not be bitten
raw by a
boy with tiny teeth

My breasts will
not burst with
magic milk

I will not
feel the horrifying
love of mother

I ate the placenta
like an omelet
