Fallopian Blooms

Michelle Detorie

You know best. –
         always you do. Two fish tubes
tied in a knot, a bow for the womb
         fixed
by an arrow
shot through the target yarn.

Unlace the lock. Tick-tock
         the
clock blooms — fallopian too!
Egg swimming in the numbers
         of
the clock. Wake up!
We can't stop our
descent.

No matter what
         you
do — no matter who —
you cannot catch us
         once were through.
