Though he’d always raved about the tool’s accuracy,

she was surprised to have the opportunity

to observe that the slice

was indeed clean and sharp.

She had expected to lose consciousness

at the moment of separation,

but had not locked the door,

nor accounted for her daughter’s

flesh was still their instrument of intuition,

forged across her uterine wall,

she’d poked back each time a limb

pressed out, a prenatal game

of telephone to allay

the anguish of immobility.

Thus honed, a sixth sense

of body inside body.
