Pregnant

Thoughts, feelings, scared shitless maybe?

Pregnant

            the word’s a jellied chloroform

            wrapped in the belly of an enigma

            tasting like beach-dried candy

           

            sweet sour sweet salty

            unbearable

            but you grasp yourself

                        to smile rigidly

            when someone looks away.

            and you eat it with that

                        s**t eating grin.

 

            it’s a good mother’s curse.

rather enigmatic open to so many interpretations.Perhaps a pregnancy which should not have happened
