“Eve Labouring for 37 Hours, the yes poem” C. Murray

Eve labouring for 37 hours; the yes poem

Great
monumental
Eve in pain,

will bring
forth a Cain
Abel
—Cannibal

Exhausted stretch
rather/ rather/ rather
rather/ rather/ rather
dilate/ than die/ yes.

So just, sous justice.
en vertu de la justice,
pour, 

‘In sorrow you shall bring forth children’

Face present ?: Yes, yes–
Hands? Yes-
His image,
Who conjured it?

This mouth of dry twigs
the sticks/stones
bones / buttons
a / knee-piece/ skulls.

There are piles of skulls
pushing through my grimacing cunt—

all the pretty things,
stones/bones/buttons
a / knee-piece / skulls

Sous justice.

So just, sous justice.
en vertu de la justice,
pour,

‘In sorrow you shall bring forth children’

Merci!
