Both/And

Today, my chest opened –
and the world
fell into it.
 
(Not what you expect
on a Wednesday afternoon.)
 
So now I am a woman
in the world 
with the world 
in my chest.
 
The world is in me now.
The world is in me now. 
 
Funny, cos I’ve tried 
to keep it out 
when – oh look
it’s in me 
anyway.
