The Want
They have found more polyps
in her womb, her immune
system in her boots
she wees as if she needed
incontinence pads at only forty
painful school runs
thin blood seeps
into her husband's boxer shorts
she borrows without his knowledge
they may have to cauterize
she wants what she cannot have
more children to mother
