Germinal -

See how fast I can run

A window is closed in the cold

Race up the stairs with a friend

Sit in the hall, stare at a wall

The words that you said by my hospital bed

On my back and bent at my knees

Were talked through air were talked through teeth

Through a pain in my stomach and blood on my sheets

The one with the cold metal hands

Up on a table undone

A tube in my womb all again

The breath and the clothes of a friend

Close my eyes, a placenta dies
