Paulette
Swollen form, forms her shame
Nourished within, without a name
Motherhood looms for a foreigner
Gift gaping space maintains honour
Kicked by her blister, bond forbidden
Future virtue relies on her blight hidden
Cavernous days stagnate poor Paulette
Infatuation's strike smokes in tepid forget
Needing hands seize with Winter bareness
Snapped family sways pink bud awareness
