UTERUS

A healing arch from childhood rape to hysterectomy

Hysterectomy

If I spread my arms

If I arch my fingers

If I stand on one foot

If I twist one leg around the other

If I curve my back

I still cannot achieve

the shape of what I lost.

No.

I have to bend my head and look down.

Then the shape is perfect

Then the pride is gone

Lose your head to enact the womb.

Is this a curse?
