a vocal fried girl, and an angry man
Sticky gloo
the sperm to her womb
to separate the lobes of
father and son,
the hook and the handle
dismantled gun
and burning candle.
Empty threats of full bodied slams,
the threadbare sheets
and silence of the blinds.
Blood beads at an inescapable boarder
the maternity dress she ordered,
consecrated for her,
an undressing of a previous quarter.
the sperm to her womb

and silence of the blinds.
