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
