when i was little
i wanted to be a mother
one day my cousins and i
played with water balloons
we couldnt play outside so
we played inside carful they wouldnt break
we layed the warm balloons on our stomachs
i closed my eyes and imagined i was pregnant
my cousins were confused
asking why would i imagine that
i said
can you imagine a piece of you
living and growing
that you will love unconditionally
they imagined and played to
i was still a little kid but so badly wanted this
and dreamed it and to some extent i still do
