Pregnant- full of meaning significant or suggestive
You can give birth to an idea.
an inanimate object(ion)
bring it
full term and birth it.
This ideal
is of your neglect
and self pity
rumbles with
pensive mania
of destain
is the painstaking
neuralgia
of all that is broken
outside of your control
taking place inside of you
Mother,
if you make the decision
to have a child now
he or she will be
the walking epitome
of abstractions you made them
long before
they had any choice
Pregnant- having a child developing in the womb
Stomach swollen for
more than a year now.
Way overdue
I have been expecting for so long.
it has been easy for me to forget,
I'm pregnant.
My stretch marks have grown
long
and
lazy
they do not know where to go anymore
and these birthing pain scars have
managed to become so common place
in the architecture of my skin
that it is hard to remember that they
Have not always been part of who I am,
Have not always been part of my story,
that they are only a part of my self
seemingly so candid and trite
that thee only thing to look forward to is
new ones
and when they will come
and how long they will be
and how much they will hurt
and whether
I will still be transfixed by them at the end of it all
If I will look at them after the pain
and thank them for bringing to fruition
the things that show
just how worth it they were
Full off these thoughts
my womb and my mind
have switched places
