pregnancy: one person
candy-coated
inside another.
there's always that moment when you can see through your hand.
a whole wall of miniature
file cabinets,
drawers shooting out from
my chest, the gun that
fires a flag, unrolling to
shout
BANG
i have a secret
will i ever even be the missing puzzle piece.
or just a one-piece puzzle.
that unsmiling daguerrotype.
