About the poem: this poem was written after a photograph. Artist unknown.

 

 

The Childless

     After a photograph entitled “Woman with Clown Doll”

 

I nurse the unborn in rich futile milk

snuggling perky breasts a lifeless touch 

of porcelain child fluffed-laced in perfect

sew-stitch   I softly pull its breathless string

embrace happy-cries   broken-laughs  

                        console my yearning heart
