CHILDREN

March 1817

I am pregnant again,

the baby due

at the end of the summer.

The idea of increasing

my family pleases me

like one who does not realize

she is hungry but then

when presented with a well-prepared feast

relishes in the food.

It also inspires me to finish

my book before the baby’s arrival.

Shelley loses his custody

fight for his children by Harriet,

but so do the Westbrooks.

Charles and Ianthe are assigned

neutral guardians by the courts.

Shelley is required to send them money

and is granted visitation.

My love’s heart pains

over this decision,

but then he seems

to forget his first two children

almost as if they have died.

He will never again visit them.

I cannot understand this

as I would rather

cut off my tongue and give up writing

than be separated

a day from my own children.
