The Stone Womb

Brought forth in death

Existing in the past

Born of a corroded womb

Life is promised to no one

Etched in stone

Period of gestation 

Name of phenomenon 

Name of deviation 

Name of disease

Devoid of humanity 

In the disgrace

In shadow of the stone

In secrecy of muddled letters

In shame this name is possessed

Etched onto my stone

Beating, breathing, ticking, mimicking

My breathing, ticking stone

Etched with past death

Past disgrace,

Honoring no life

Honoring gestation

Honoring the cloudy letters

Carved into the eternal grave

Of the stone womb
