Lost

Normal again
Or rather never

Blood in such rushes
I have never seen
Bursting from me
In hot spurts
With each cough

And the end
A twisted sack—fig-like—
Sunken
In a clear pool:
A child,
My, our, your child
Or a dream
Lost

A sonogram
Showed us two
Black holes

The next time
I bleed it is
Normal again
Darker
Heavier but
Never
Again

Just blood
