My stomach was a bowl
of hot soup burning
itself into a hard
pocked-marked knot.
The stomach sleeps,
gentle, senseless,
most of the time.
Mine awoke in a newborn wrath.
It was my fiery seed, my pit.
The heart, the mind, unstrapped
themselves from me
and the world was the Devil’s
for all my flesh could tell.
