I carry this dusty baby <br />Heavy, heavier it becomes <br />It gasps, it retches <br />It is fluid in my arms <br />Just a fetus <br />A nothing <br />This baby is so heavy <br />And so old <br />I cannot believe the blood <br />The quivering, the gushing <br />This baby is imaginary <br />A nothing <br />It is drowning me <br />It holds me in its arms <br />I am so solid <br />It gapes widely at me <br />It swallows me <br />Now I am just a fetus. <br /> <br /> <br />3rd March 2007<br /><br />Miss Fairytale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-a-fetus/
