i laugh
as the blood makes recognizable shapes
on the tile floor
i don't
need this anymore
how can love be a cradle
when the baby is stillborn?
how can life deem me able
when i am only able to harm?
my tears
streak
down my face and are pink
on the dirty floor,
who needs thought anymore?
how can embrace be a cure
to an incurable disease?
how can i be sure
that there is reason to breathe???
