still in tact
that's what the doctor and attending nurse called it
still in tact
though pressure and injection
though forced delivery
and perversions of nature
it was still in tact
heartbeat steady
shaking and helpless
lacerations it came into the world wearing like a warrior
the audacity of a first breath
willful and stubborn
still in tact
whole
complete and perfectly in tact
