There is an image of a snake up on the screen.
It is consuming a four-legged creature
The head is already in, its legs are twitching
As the muscle of the snake contracts
A life is slowly crushed
Digestion will take months, I suspect . . .

I look away.
The fetus head retracts a little with each push.
The body breaks apart in two.
They tell me I’ve recovered bene
my external organ—adorning a red stroller—has learned to smile.

I am surprised to discover walls where there was nothing.
They tell me it takes six months for the abdominal muscles
And I have trouble in closed spaces,
a fear of temperature rising and having no way to get out

Since giving birth, people feel to be made of meat mostly.
Steak repulses me
There is no going back inside.

The Soft Spot
Closing my eyes into the pleasure
Forming like a bud, protruding
And I feel sunlight on my skin, gently
As if emerging from water
For the first time
Forming like a bud, protruding
And I feel sunlight on my skin, gently
As if emerging from water
For the first time
We took a bath today
As I dried you,
I watched your head pulsate
Because your skull is still forming
And is soft

Has anyone dropped their baby?
Or baby fallen?
Has anyone actually
lost weight while breastfeeding ?
I still have 25 pounds from pregnancy to lose
and still don’t know if I should renew my wardrobe,
Today I saw my truck from a distance in a parking lot
and thought I had scratched my vehicle.
Nope, it was my hair, disgusting!!!!
Just stuck to the side along for a ride.
Wrapped around my son’s penis
probably cutting off the circulation
I swear almost every diaper change
Is your scar area still swollen?
I’ll be 6 months pp next week
Will it ever go away?!

Joy
My baby makes me so happy
That it gives me anxiety about dying early
Of cancer in pesticides
I google “Should I wash vegetables with soap?”
We already buy fucking organic
This love displaces me
Just sitting, watching him change on his Stokke
I float outside myself and can’t locate shit
Like keys or glasses, I scan the room
And sometimes I feel I see through his eyes
Emotion spreads into my shadow
It’s something I cannot contain,
This feeling of the pure present,
Not darkness, but the fragility of joy
I want to slather it with glitter,
To roll in his drool like a dog,
Something to make it tactile, make it stick
Tattoo his perfect weight on my skin
That it gives me anxiety about dying early
