Charlotte was never to be born.
my daughter who turned away
she gained what she needed form me
from her father
and left again
silently
with no sign to us of what it was she'd come for

I see her still
as i did that day
she in the world beyond
in the trees near the cliff
she stared at me through that filmy barrier
my heart was gripped with fear
it was the last i saw of her


why did she come?
and where did she go?







This is a tribute to all mothers who miscarry, i never knew this baby except in my heart, where she remains to this day. I met her in a strange waking dream, she spoke to me wordlessly, sadly, it was the only time i saw her.
