MOTHER-FIRST ROOM It was removed when-it was falling from her, forcing fallopian tubes and bladder, like I pulled placenta, into air, into light. camera obscura dark room camera obscura dark room I was the insect in the amber, I was the work-the eyelids and kidneys ankle bones and vulva. camera obscura dark room camera obscura dark room I was not the sticky heat not the blood warm seep on her thighs. I was not the empty. I was the result-what was left what was left. Brant A.M. BRANT 36 1Brant: Mother--First RoomPublished by The Open Repository @ Binghamton (The ORB), 2012
