I am thrilled to share a poem I wrote, published by Mother's Always Write
https://mothersalwayswrite.com/heart-leak/ I think my baby poked my heart in utero with nail or toe. What else could send my heart a swell but a rush of care to clot a cut? The contents of my chamber inflamed began to leak sugar sweet, treacle trickle kept a gash agape, drip drop from rupture spot. Heart sap coated veins and bones. Perspired through open pores and filled the walls and halls of home with sticky gold gone rogue. A residue I could not undo or scrub from floors or bones What was contained, pervades remains, and now I know, I’m love.
