Stretching

I trace my fingers along the stretch marks I feel no child from within I feel a rock, hitting an unknown surface I feel it invading me everyday I cry more nights than any child would I cry when tears no longer fall Just moans…like the night it happened And I crawl into bed, Knowing my dreams will welcome the scene Blood dripped on the pavement Alone was happy to be with me I felt no one knew and it gave me solace But then I remembered What the intruder has already forgotten I fire into the center of my belly Pink liquid and blood spilling I finger the holes that I felt till that day Climb inside Climb inside Splinters of a carcass remain in my womb Desperate to consume A fistful of embryo Staring at me… I burn holes…more and more Until I rest on the ground again Where the blood spilled And my body is stretching… As I realize My wretched child shall cry all these nights Desperately I will shield my sobs As it opens its eyes Coming out of me… Like the intrusion of the rock I will pretend Like the night it was created I will pretend that Alone is my friend And I will bend over in defeat Letting it out of me As the liquid spills and spurts Stretching me more and more….and more
