She knows.

In moments' breath - black flying stomach Scream.
The foul breath of Life, ripe

Pain as sharp and sliver-swift, she flies

Blue wind and green,

Then just as well alights this mercy
and she is stuffed
into the gaping mouth of Life.

Thank you for your time and kind reviews. After reading this aloud to myself a number of times, I decided to amend it a bit.

The Awakening (new title)
Born knowing,
the Monarch squirms.
A brittle, glass skin
woven womb - tomb twisted, twisting wriggle push and pump wrench and rip Fight. Fight and tear a blur of convulsing brown panic suffocating claw and scrape
away the rigid mucous shards.
The vacuum cracks a long-held breath...
Behold her coronation
in stretching Glory.

In moments' breath - black flying stomach Scream.
The foul stench of Life, ripe
with talons.
Pain as sharp and sliver-swift, flies
on shredded silk and wing.
Blue wind and green
cool and fresh in moments' breath.

Then just as well alights this mercy
and she is stuffed
into the gaping mouths
of Life.

God awakens and goes about his business.
