for my Babes

I watch the daylight pour through the cobwebs.

Slicing through my treacle darkness like a knife.

I can’t even comprehend another day like this.

My arms are ruined with blood, it dries on me like a macabre gloss.

Not even my blade will bring my peace.

I look at the clinical card with your smudgy prints.

No name.

I couldn’t name you.

Impatient baby girl.

Look after our Baby now- who left the biggest scar on me of all.

My Daughter, April 11th - too perfect to be mine.

My Baby, August 11th - thank you for your sacrafice so baby C will be here soon.

Watch over him because I want to love him like I couldn’t love you.

Dear sister,

Your children are together now -

Thank you for your powerful words, which touched me to the core

Blessed be
