Fetus

Impregnated with uncertainty

Long overdue

 

Waiting on opportunity

My patience is subdued

 

Attempted abortions

With 4th trimester distortions

Stillbirth ensues

 

Screams inside the sirens

Struck with hospitalization

Bedridden doormen

Realization…

 

The time arrives

With labor pains

And liberation pangs

 

I cut the umbilical chains

Only a piece of me remains

 

I feel the guarantee

The time is now

I feel parturiency…
