I was lost, unaware, in betrayal.
Constantly running,
My heart's desire dragging behind -
The guilt so heavy in each breath
I dared not look back
To see its bones bounce with each step.
Instead I carried a polluted womb
Too toxic for life to grow,
That gave birth to dead babies
For years and years.
I could never carry one
Full term
But screamed for death
Half way through.
In she would come,
Faithful Kali
With her icy hands
To destroy the dream
Before it could begin.
Now I've asked her forgiveness
And she held me with such love,
Such tenderness and wisdom
That I saw my wounds
For what they were.
