Fertility Denied by Snigdha Agrawal

 


Fertility Denied

She presses her ear
to the hollow of her belly,
listening for the echo of creation,
but all she hears is the pulse
of absence
A rhythm that tells her she is whole,
yet incomplete
While her garden outside mockingly, 

year after year,
continues to bloom
