A poem

You are going to be a problem.

Story stopped with my doctor's words.

Not a pretty arc from tragedy to hope-fueled triumph,

it is a tale marked by a multitude of ruptures

-of infertility treatments.

-of reproductive surgeries.

- of haunting losses.

-of growing bellies.

-of hospitalization.

-of emergency sterilization.

- of a continued struggle

to inhabit a scarred body/mind afterward.

I'm not the problem. I have to remember,
