all those blood inspired
days and nights
all those ova that missed
this starring role to float
a sleeping smile
across doctor hugo’s
magic picture box

the words drift like you do
i’m     sorry     no     heart     beat
the words drift like you do
let    me    explain
failed    pregnancy    failed
chromosomes    failed    ovum
failed     journey    into    life

you are a lacuna
my scant one
i drift like you do
we   eddy   round   and   round
until i am an empty sink   
scoured clean and shiny
