Parasite

Writer: Tin Can PoetryTin Can Poetry

My vulva is a parasite

I so desperately want to claw off

Rip out my uterus like a fish caught on a hook

Heavy

Useless.


Peel off my boobs

As if they were velcro’d on

Smooth off the remaining fluffy side

With my hands

Soothing

Smoothing.


All the way down to the snail trail

Leading to

Nothing.


My hips now a cradle for my inner child

When she needs somewhere to run to.
