Such exquisite use of langauge

to describe the awful and open up the ineffable. Beautifuilly compressed.

Painfully beautiful

I wouldn't change the squirms line. I think there's a real referent there (maggots, for example) but it also works well with the overall image you are conveying. The whole poem does because it's short and vivid and precise.

I like this one. Not sure about the cawing either. I am in the process of writng something similar. Death and pregnancy are recurrent themes with me, so this one is a hit with me.

I'd say no changes what so ever are necessary.. very well expressed.
