Exactly

The Miscarriage
By Linda Wasmer Andrews

There has been a death in the family.
There has been a death in the family.

No eulogy, no coffin,
No funeral, no black.

And yet, there has been a death in the family.

No undertaker, no hearse,
No cemetery, no grave.

And yet, there has most assuredly been a death in the family.

No belly, no fullness,
No lifeline, no baby.
There has been a death in the family.
