[bodytext] => I am the empty womb;
Expelling my children At the passage of the moon; Hooded, in shroud of bone; Destroying little lives; In Silence; One by one. In my tight lipped fortress; Babies die in here alone; Sealed with a kiss; In the dark emptiness Of a windless, winding Silence; One by one. I’ve seen off the horde Disgorged in tumescence; Drowned in black blood; As I flush my brood From the impenetrable Silence; One by one. Thirty years, then I’m done A flap of skin Wasting in the dark, alone; All my darlings gone: Counting the days In silence; One by one.
