she is too tired.
she is gutted from their spoon-eyes
digging into her
not quite ripe form;

that is when they wanted her most
(when their touches left bruises
and her baby hairs laid down,
docile when exposed to their breath)
.

and even while her seed
was carelessly plucked,
even while her insides
were shoveled and disjointed -
she was heavy.

breathing was never more difficult
than trying to decide
if she should exhale
or inhale
because everything is pressing against her
and at the same time
her body is ready to burst.

life is nothing more than holding her breath
and counting the seconds
until she is forced to breathe.
she is tired of taking in
double-edged-air
that hurts just as much
upon release
as it does to breathe in.
i like this a little better. just a little.
