she wrote this for me

There it stopped
Pulse and flow
I drained from the center out
White like an egg

It all sunk
Sway and bob
I carried it in my hollow
102 degrees for 21 days

A new rhythm began
Tap and crack
I felt life breaking open
The first born cry

Cut incision first intercostal to
umbilicas using found object.
Lay supine to perform horizontal
crucifix maneuver. Reserve
drainage and blood loss for
accurate I & O measurement.
Assess, Auscultate, Percuss,
Palpate, decide.

It has begun
Glance and touch
I am feeling your tepid thrill
Hungry song
if you're a pot smoker and you don't own a ukulele you're fuckin up...but then once you get a ukulele you might end up moving to a guitar because its a gateway instrument you know

    Did your Mom write this for you? I think it's great.
    Want to be enlightened, like I want to be told the end.

    i could see how you might think that...it has that new born, maternal feel to it...but it wasn't my mother who wrote it for me...it was this girl...

    i think she means like...her life is starting over with me...like she's getting a second chance...eh read that story...then the poem becomes more understandable...i think
