Struggling to Smile

Making Parenthood A Reality Through IVF Grants

Man and woman
Swing a little girl between them,
She wears rainbow tights and cowboy boots,
Squealing in delight.

I watch in shadow
Defective
Broken

Infertility struggles to smile at baby showers,
Recoils at the questions of well intentioned strangers,
Makes love knowing nothing will grow.
