She mourns.
Head on knees,
hands on ankles,
feeling with fingers
tired skin.
Child death
unlike all other.
We made,
he said,
I carried,
she replied.
The child died.
Ce qui peut venir
de tout cela?
What result?
He questioned
over dull coffee,
cigarette held low,
eyes mud brown
cast down.
Blessures comme
celle-ci ne guérissent pas,
she said.
Pictures of her child
swim in the waters
of her pained head.

Pictures of her child
