Wordsmith Wednesday Pt. 2

A poem I wrote over the summer in poetry workshop @ Hunter College. One of my favorite poems that I have written to date:

Time

by Cicely Carter

I saw her ½ naked pictures,

that hideous face beaming up at me,

seductively disgusting.

I took my suitcase & never looked back.

5 months later, the bulk of my pregnant stomach,

had become the weight of my newborn’s head,

resting in the crook of my neck.

I saw my face in his

and had no regrets.
