I saw inside my uterus today:
A tiny black,
empty cavity
strong–
like an upside down pyramid
It stared back at me
Showering me with daggers of hope
and love
and truth
and relief
A meditation of sublime serenity;
I sailed on those silver saline waters
Ever present
Ever grateful
Ever me
I saw inside my uterus today
and what it told me made me smile.
