At the Doctors.
Hoping.
Praying.
Expectant.
Due in June.
A June bug baby.
On the screen.
At the monitor.
An empty sac.
The empty sac
Was just like
My Heart.
Empty.
A miscarriage.
Again.
I stood and turned
And left,
Walking past the
Swollen bellies
In the waiting room.
Swollen with waiting
Waiting for something
I wouldn't have.
At least not right now.
Tears slipped down my cheeks,
My heart was swollen with grief
Yet my womb was empty.
Again.
This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.
