I will not bury the small body which
cracked open to create me. I
will drag her rotting limbs through
the streets. Look at her face:
her butchered lips and thick
glass eyes, the maggots seething
furiously inside her belly. Here. This,
the girl I became after their hands.
Some corpses are not meant to
become skeletons in closets.
Look at her face: doesn’t it echo
of mine?
