Amniotic Lyrics

Wrapped in your broken limbs
my body dessicates, shrivels
& mumiffies within the sepulchure
of your embrace
skin stretched so
taut against my skeletal frame
my bones are like knives --
you cut your fingers on me, as you hold,
as you contain me --
& some liquid from your fingers leaks
& drips like amniotic fluid onto my skin &
slowly I reconstitute
