Nugget of Gold
A poem about my misscariage
I dreamt of a pool with red water
I dove in
Swam to the empty floor
There was a drain
The pool became a red ocean
The ocean became red rain
The rain became the shower where I lost you
Again I heard you hit the shower floor
I woke up to the sound of your body leaving mine
I woke up to a dream within the first
I gasped and rose from my bed
Everything was white except for me
I was stained red
I saw my mirror on the ground
And took my place on it
When I saw between my legs it was gold
Nugget of gold left my lips
My child I held you everyday of your life
I believe in you when I bleed
That smell of iron forever forged with your memory
Memory is my new name and I live in a city of gold now
The house on the corner where I will forever love you
From the shower floor
