TO A DRUM THUMP SLOWING

trapped for days without horizon on which to hang hope of rescue
the donner septuplets reflect on creation, overpopulation
as their starving mother starves

shoulder to shoulder in a claustrophobic cauldron
of nourishment
failing

their scarcely-trained sockets and fisted fists
flailing

johnny donner says,
I think but
nevermind

hanging in her chest the
seven crescent chrysalis
fix fourteen burgeoning bird eyes on a drying and veiny slab
of mother from which drains their nutrients

and after three weeks
johnny senses a stagnation
an anonymous malaise of lethargic days
but nothing likened to pain

askance the sapped roots of his siblings
the bulbous benjamin donner has more than his share
while beside him, dearest astoria scrapes against a shrunken amniotic sac
like a clawless kitten in a wet and empty balloon
days before nails and cuticles
she deafens to the drum
but nothing like pain

for their part the surviving sextuplets are satiated
til the trimester turns
beneath a canopy of canvas their mother cowers, her purple digits dying
and inside, a whoosh like the passing of nourishment through bowels so long neglected as astoria and the recently chilled ricky pass southward and out of sight
johnny donner cuddles himself
something like... fear

five months in
an embryonic search team strains
undeveloped limbs on umbilical harnesses
to the peak of their dark dome-prison

desperately, they kick without picks or prods
kick
the surface strong as the Sierras
mother, half-dazed, senses cold
percolations
as she lays against a splintered wagon wheel
with a weak wave to the First Relief
until the defeated donners descend
to attend to the last of poor astoria

and seven months
little johnny donner strangles a sister, emily
she chokes, flails, floats
with a gentle slouch
to a drum thump slowing

as he sucks her stem cells
johnny feels the pang of forfeit -
from his kin a feeling akin to pain
pain

and like a great collapsing of blackness
the push of pressure that substitutes for sound
registers the creak of freezing flesh
and, like a subzero snow globe
the arctic air reacclimates mother's acids
with a swallowing, hardening,
silence

Twas an interesting (albeit hard to follow) read. Maybe that's just 'cause I'm a dumb blonde. Hmmmm.

Inexplicably I read, and enjoyed this.

Who knew?



Coyote: Fear not, Homer. I am your spirit guide.

Homer: Hiya.

Coyote: There is a lesson you must learn.

Homer: If it's about laying off the insanity peppers, I'm way ahead
of ya.
