Comments : When Everything Is Still

    This poem has me in tears and chills. This is so touching and so sad. I have never experienced a still birth, nor do I believe I know anyone who has. But I have been around miscarriages and this just rocked my emotions here. Oh, MA, this is beautifully tragic.

    "When there are no passed down lullabies
    that can soothe the fear escaping from
    your womb."

    This piece had me in fits. How you were able to reach into the mind of a loss and write as if it was your own is incredible to me. This is spot on.
