she
nursed her hurt like a just-born child
gave
it her breast heavy with poisons wild
raised
it on a malevolent book of rage
with
spiteful stories screaming page on page
she
fed it venom and stuffed it with hate
and
reared it grandly to an inevitable fate
she
nursed her hurt till her hurt nursed her
and
suckled her back from a milky blister
Till
an abyss yawned dreamily as dark as coal
and
gawped and grinned and gobbled her whole.
