Bloodborn
Posted on November 10, 2022 by Raven McShan
I misplaced my birth control dreamt of infants for two nights
The first baby rested on my shoulder hands clutching at my blouse skin light enough to pass like Grandmother
I remembered my child’s heartbeat against mine when my sister conceived a friend’s baby
The second baby bundled in my lap blue blanket swaddled around her skin like my father, hot chocolate
I had no memory of her until my aunt lamented her lack of grans at my cousin’s 30th birthday party
The third day I refilled my prescription popped a melatonin tablet and awoke in relief to sheets sodden red
