Womb

Bottomless slumber, tumbling, Like a babe down the stair. You sloughed off your wrinkly skin, To iron out the wear. The ugliest vestigial uterus, Swallowed me up like a pill. And I writhed inside as she opened wide, And reached in to keep me still. I slept for many a year, and then no more; My eyes oozed off; my consciousness died. And I was blind until I saw her; She spat me out, and I mindlessly cried. Pink and raw and ******l, Her eyes bugged out of her head. She swathed me in her sticky flesh, And sent me off to bed.
