it's the way the front of your body
goes black,
you turn your head to see
if the baby is really dying
and ink leaks out to frame
your pointy back.
"I can still get you
into heaven"
you have fists
that fall heavy
despite that they're composed
of just two sacks
of tiny bones,
clicking as they drop
into her chest.
"no you can't"
