Design of Darkness



"I'm gon' have a baby."
Come 9 months and ain't no baby
But an overblown foetus
Which had attained quietus.
Slugs racked her body
Stole the joy of maternity,
One day of bloodletting
Blew a nine month wait
To the Kingdom of No-Way.
And now that she's decay
Who mourns her miscarriage?
