Germinal

See how fast I can run A window is closed in the cold Race up the stairs with a friend Sit in the hall, stare at a wall The words that you said by my hospital bed On my back and bent at my knees Were talked through air were talked through teeth Through a pain in my stomach and blood on my sheets The one with the cold metal hands Up on a table undone A tube in my womb all again The breath and the clothes of a friend Close my eyes, a placenta dies
