when your mama made her mind up
your parts should be combined,
did she ask herself whether that was kind?
(fingers in the viscera; jelly on her skin)
from haruspex or sonographer ask what was coming?
run to Delphi, mothers —
what a thing to be —
setting rolling all these stones
involuntarily
run to Delphi, mothers —
what a thing you do —
weeping to release someone
who surely will weep too
