Conception. I'm looking for some feedback.
You ripped off my arm
and tore off my leg
I called you vengeful
I named you Set
it wasn’t long before I came apart.
and ended up on the line of the river
Don’t think
that it will be enough
to tape together
bone for structure
or flesh for pleasure
sand and sun
only led her to rip
my body
from the jaws of crocodiles
and she cured
dry desert heat and puncture wounds
With the resurrection
of satiation
and time
when there was only limb from limb linguistics
and so very little
that seemed worth bringing back
you didn’t think it
would be enough
To tape together
life and ventricle
love and muscle
so you untied your leather sandals
and molded the bright and slatted sunlight from the west
barefoot with your breasts in your hands
I called you art
I named you Isis
and asked you to piece me back together again
even if it was only long enough to conceive

Arren, now that I am past my own hurt I hear
Painful
impregnation
torn apart
past lives suffering remembered
poorly treated for the hurt both emotionally and physically
remembering sexual assault
yet you forgive
for the life of a child, perhaps
Am I lost or have I found any of your lessons? _________________ emend, educate, empower, evolve...
