i sit enthroned
in a tiny washroom
naked
scrubbing myself
with a frayed rag
my lilly white skin
turning red from the
friction
i look down at myself
scars cover my abdomen and thighs
red streaks in a sky
of white
where dust has broken
the holy fortress
my abdomen is swollen
from forced entry
womb of pain
yes, i carry pain
but when i give it birth
what will it become?
i see the shadowy outline of my breasts on the wall
