I swim inside her Stretching, then floating In liquid-space Bouncing off rubber walls Careering into cavernous flesh Performing double somersaults with ease
As the days pass I become constricted Snug Warm Enfolded My feather-heart beats gently My toenails sprout I want to stay here forever
Then it gets intense Pressure from all sides Something is pushing hard I have no choice But to hang on Time to exit – into what?
Suddenly – no more water The push of air in my throat The dead bump of dry land No one holds me anymore I am let loose in the world To swim against the tide
