Ah, finally an 'abortion without abortion poem' as you so accurately put it. Quite simply I loved it, I rarely see a poem about abortion, for or against, that doesn't go on-and-on about 'She cried when she realized she would never have children. She missed her fetus' kind of poems. This was beautiful and put together well!

M, that is simply gorgeous. I just love the interstates line and measuring beams with feet and it's all so pretty and visual. I have to favorite. Keep writing! :)

Beautiful.

Jesus, I love this poem and its subject; how you handle it is amazing and powerful and all your own.

Lovely lovely poem.
