"i'm pregnant."
two words
that can hold so much
joy
but yet so much
ammunition
when fired at you
unintentionally.
the questions come:
why not me?
i thought that
sex + ovulation day = baby?
why can fourteen-year-olds
have healthy pregnancies,
but my baby died?
why did my water break early?
why couldn't she wait just
a few more days?
why?
why?
why?
why?
why?
self-pity.
self-loathing for the fact that you're
not entirely happy.
guilt.
anger.
impatience.
warning:
nervous system overload.

three...
