When I learned of

The uncountable, the hell-bent obscenity,

I felt, with shame, a seed in me,

Powerful and inarticulate:

I wanted to be pregnant.

Women in the street flowing toward

Home, dazed with grief, and my daze

Admixed with jealous awe, I wondered

If they were,

Or wished for it, too,

To be full, to be forming,

To be giving our blood’s food

To the yet to be.

To feel the warp of morning’s

Hormonal chucking, the stutter kiss

Of first movement. At first,

The idea of sex a further horror:

To take pleasure in a collision
