Lost Our Girl
doubled in the bathroom
mind races in denial
oh no can't be losing this child
has to be
something
else
something
else
long aches and sharp pain clears my head
knot my hands in my robe I push myself to the sink
weak
I see your face in the doorway
weeping
keening I am in your arms
we've lost our girl
