    babies‚ the sound we imagine empty wombs might make in women who can’t fill them up. A clasp‚ a scratch‚ a sigh. They drink fruit dry. And wheel‚ against feverish light flung hard upon their faces‚ in circles that nauseate. Imagine one at breast or neck‚ Patterning a name in driblets of iodine that spatter your skin stars.
