she bundled her newborn baby boy up
and left him in the cardboard basinet
in hopes death would find him and show him a little love
she hadn’t even wiped up the afterbirth and blood
but she cut off her own umbilical cord and left it on the floor
as she rushed him out the door
before her parents got off of work
sure she was a little hurt and the baby was screamin’
plus her virgina was bleedin’ but she had to keep his little secret
daddy loved her
maybe a little too much
cause he touched her and showed her unwelcome advances
oh his hand felt at home on her inner thigh
when mommy was workin’ overtime
now she’s playin’ doctor in her bathroom with kitchen forceps and a knife
cause she don’t want no body to realize—that she was spendin’ nights
with her legs cocked up wishin’ mommy woulda paid for a sitter
she wanted to confide in someone but he said if she did he’d kill her
so she spent nine months carrying the guilt of their affair
she wanted to get somethin’ for her morning sickness but she was so scared
a paternity test would show that her dad was the daddy
so she buried her pain, bloody sheets and ripped panties
somewhere between her house and the route she took to her school bus
about a block up from where her unnamed babies cryin’
wrapped up in her body towel and slowly dying
just like she is
he spent his last days under baggy clothes just like she did
cause she figured murder wasn’t somethin’ she couldn’t live with
so she sent her body from the fire escape of the building head first
cause her daddy told her one day in bed “sometimes love hurts”
