1/26/2018 Wonderland by Natasha CabotWonderland I cut off my tits my menstrual flow reverses back inside of me and I’m a child again I crawl up my mother’s vagina to hide nothing can get me in there I slide down her fallopian tubes and squeal with delight I swim inside her ovaries and crush the other eggs there will be no sibling rivalries anymore a hand reaches up to pull me out and I snap at it tearing it off and I swallow it whole there will be none of that! I won’t go willingly I won’t go quietly I’ll stay here safely until she dies then I’ll sneak back out and resume my womanhood without her in the way that’s always been how it’s done in my family we emerge from the cocoon when it’s safe and the mouth is perpetually quiet BIO: Natasha Cabot is a Halifax-based Canadian writer whose work has been featured in Thrice Fiction Magazine, Toasted Cheese Literary Journal, Wilderness House Literary Review, as well as several others.
