Lines to an aborted foetus.
It was most
discourteous of us
to suffer you enter
into the ante room
of our existence,
grant you a grudging sustenance,
a meagre hospitality,
short leave to lay,
in the watery quiet of the womb,
a levy on our world
and to commence
A small, sweet
architecture,
only to set
with so abrupt
a termination
your teeming
diligence
to naught.
