I remember
when the daylight would unspool
like thread between our fingers
and the night-time came
stillborn in our minds
We ran
naked as babes ourselves
fearless and hopeful and wistful
We carried desire
on our lips
as if it’s burden were a gift
In the ocean
waves lapping at our ribs
you kissed me
and finally I knew
the taste of love

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
