My lips have no words to say, so I let my ink bleed on my notes, the syrupy liquid encases, coats. Like my tears, dripping from my eyes, like when I fell in the shower, as she slipped through my thighs, miscarried my poor little girl, body rejected my womb's pearl. I scrambled to my knees, afraid to touch,
I was scared the tiny thing would shrivel to dust, her bloody face, her closed eyes,
I wondered if they were the color of the sky. Buried her in the ground, in a coffin the size of a shoebox, buried her with the hats I had made, the dresses, the socks.
My poor angel, lying in the crusty earth,
I hope you know how much you are worth. I visit her grave every so often, and kneel by her cross, …show more content…
What color would your eyes be, your hair?
Sometimes I think I see you smiling there.
How happy your smile, do you like to play?
Or do you make faces at strangers to keep them away? I buried my daughter one year today,
Wish I could bring her back here with me some way,
Hold her little hand, kiss her small face, let her feel the warmth of a motherly embrace. Oh, sweetheart, I buried you one year today, my heart is too tired for my lips to say, but I'll write down my ache and my love, while you play in heaven up
