HOLLY AMOS

 

                                     



I AM DEEP IN TEAR RIGHT NOW


Deeply feel the middle open
but unable to feel wind.

Too many leaves stuck there?
Too many snouts not my own, still covered

in something thick. I find
the transformative:

The childless thing that happens
so that people can drink milk.

Tattoo artists interested in putting
animal rights on my body.

Tearing contributor checks along
a great perforation
.

Every second a cell turns over
or dies or grows into a beautiful cancer

that enables a huge trunk of love
to move out of the ground.
