still. born
By Narcissa
Dawn trickled
down his chin
Like a rusty nail pried from an old barn
...could
nothing hold him?
This man, once a child, not from my womb
But
loved the same
...the stained cloth that dangled from his wrists
Told me he never knew...
and now...when angels are scarce
Feeding
off breath of newborns
It is the ones who want to go that have to
stay.

I've been wondering where you went! I'm so glad you wrote something and posted it. That last line is a piercing truth that bleeds the person you speak of. This was awesome.
