Are my snakes showing?

  The Medusa Oblongata

the part of

dead baby mamas

where fangs are bared

internally as often as not

 Biting my tongue poisons me

 From which venom flows

instead of milk

envy spite and malice

 The part of me that hungers

and hates

that you get

to be ignorant

 The part that cannot

be happy

that your baby lived

 That you got pregnant

again

That you are awake

at night

for a reason

 Look into my eyes

and you will know

that babies can die

and that knowledge

spreads like a toxin

 You do not get

to feel safe

to not know

 The pain is yours now

 Sharing does not 

lessen it inside me

but makes it spread

 No one gets to be innocent

  Look at me and turn to stone

then you too will have 

a stone baby

bones and ashes
