on the issue of unwanted babies and abortion.


haunted by blood

'am pregnant
weighty words
uplift able yet degradable

our bitter pleasure
resurrected and gazed
fixedly and unflinchingly

heroic me especially!

keep it!
my vain words
terminate it!
my wishful thoughts
never loved her enough
unfair bargain of vows

third room
second apartment
first ghost
cajoles my sleep

skeptical of her return
unattainable fusion
my heart lies with the widow
unlovable reunion
both carried my still born
off springs in limbo

un-hidden from fear
un-immune d from regret

win is sin
sin is win

A difficult subject which creates all kind of controversy on both sides. I had to read this a couple of times to reach its depths. Poignant.
