Un-nature

What to do when insides turn out 
When blood skin reaches air
When the burn is too shocking
When even the still air makes it too hard to be
When the flesh no longer performs its function
When the organ is pulled away by force
Exposing the red - the fresh, the tender
That which was not made to be in contact with the air, the world
That which cannot survive but with the protection of what is now gone
What to do?
When wounds should be fatal but are not
Some call it "miraculous"
It feels wrong
It cannot be
It is unnatural
An anti-miracle
Should not be allowed
Nature should not be fragile
But fragility... well, that is the nature of things
It is unnatural
