It's been
a long road
and these parts of me
don't work too well
anymore
I said
take them
I don't need them
what do I need a uterus for?
What's left behind
are stitches
and crooked paths
of healing flesh
and I find
that I feel strangely
less whole
like
some woman who used to be
and now
isn't really
anything
anymore.
