Living on eggshells
Treading softly, carefully
Afraid to feel joy

Just like my sweet Kate

I pray it expands to give
me one more to love

I was worrying
about my follicle counts
not ovulation


horse out of the barn
and me? I am standing in
the doorway, watching


the thing I worry
about is rarely the thing
that ends up failing

it is amazing
how hope drives me to inject
my belly each day


one part science, two
parts magic and more hope than
almost anything.


just this once I want
to say no, I won't do it
but I'd be lying.

Oh I miss those days!

Uterus is aging too
Am I too old now?

It's five syllables
