at 16 the doctor said
come back when you are bleeding
and we will look for something
but i can tell you now that
having a baby will help
i returned and with his fingers
covered in my blood he said
yes
they are strong
like labor
for years i believed that if i
could not bear a child at least i
could bear the pain of birth
