hysterectomied woman (3)

hysterectomied woman,

                lie in bed, 
pretend it is still inside

slip reality on
       and off,


          listen to the sound 
               mute behind
your diaphragm

            in search of potential

inside
      your body 

like the hysterics,

move
              aplomb
and in servitude to your 
       desires and deliverance

winged monarch 
winged moth 
winged virgin mouth

      do not question
