Week Ten: Plum

I.

My body, which has never died,

has two hearts again today,

and how many

inside the second?

This body, which has been planted

in ears and kidneys,

fingers and formed lungs, a person almost

the size of a plum, unbecome,

her own seed already in her.

This body, which is two bodies

and a thousand more in either

direction of time— the wake of the present—

has died ten thousand times, planted

as it is in the mud

where the plum must grow,

planted as it is in the dew.
