Hush.
"Hush. Please, hush." Echoing the walls of my womb,
the vibrations that go right through me.
Return my child.
Come back, my mouldy, four-year-old fetus.
I'll trap you back inside.
Grow.
I will feed you placenta.
I won't drink and
I won't smoke.
The care will be out there now.
Come home, James.
I can't report you missing.
"Hey, you, please look for my unborn child...in the sewers where he was flushed."
Do it quietly
my guilt will eat you whole,
if it hears you.
the vibrations that go right through me.
Return my child.
Come back, my mouldy, four-year-old fetus.

Come home, James.

"Hey, you, please look for my unborn child...in the sewers where he was flushed."
Do it quietly
my guilt will eat you whole,

yet effective. You've created another compelling poem.
This one doesn't have perfect structure or form, but the thoughts and the story that it creates in my mind while reading are deep and intricate.

amazing expression of sentiments: guilt, pain, grief...that place in 'you' that doesn't care about the rules/boundaries of life, just anything to have back what's missing... like Steven says, deep and intricate. well done, LA.

I wasn't sure if the simplicity would be enough as I really have trouble with it but I'm chuffed it did, almost deleted this one. Thank you.
