A knife through my hand
crimson blood pouring out fast
A heart, numb, frozen.
*****
No contact, no love
Babies without touch, react
Doubt, afraid, for life.
*****
Your breath near mine, close
the beat of our hearts, different
Tears tell our story.
*****
Brittle bones, swollen
raw, excruciating pain
A Fibro Flare Up.
*****
Alone, we will be
No guarantee in life, death
Be at peace with One.
