Poems
Feb 2013
With tears in the blanks
She begged me never to leave
I pleaded to the same degree
She said she's having my baby
I joined the ˈmiləˌterē
She claimed to be high risk
I exclaimed "We are better than this!"
She explained the reason: diabetic
I replied "Your excuses are emetic."
She mentioned money would help set her pace
I sent several hundreds to take my place
She disappeared without a trace
I, broken and weary, continued the race.
Part 10 of the Kutisha series "kukata tamaa"
This is the first and last poem I will write about Salina, the mother of my daughter.
