I. Inter[nal]red

                           here       is where I want 
              my body: underground burning 
determined mitosis crystalize cellular 
              suffering ovum safe    reverted zygote 
radically    whole

II. [Some]Rise

The last smirnoff ice scrapes brick landscape, grass 
             beside night pool slick with pre-dawn 
[his weight grinds gunpowder]. I shoot birth-canal shot 
              into water [hover above concrete abrasion]. 
Illuminated chlorine [re]turns primordial,
              bright algae to greysalt churn: 
emerge 
              Venus. 
Emerge Lazarus. 
Emerge Silvia. 
Emerge 
             birth-named self. All 
sting and sparkle, grit polished 
pearl-girl sixteen again: young
             and explosive [incendiary dawn].
