ants
have
wended
their
way
into
the
discoid dent
where
the
umbilical cord
passed
notes
from
your
mother
to
you
when
you
were
baking
in
her
belly

could
have
been
born
backwards

strangled
on
the
vine
,
or
broken
by
the
soft
maze
of
my
moist
mouth
.
this
is
the
ending
the
day
has
dealt.

roll
you
over
and
wait
for
you
to
be
devoured.
