Ben Gieske - Abortion

a beginning.......................choked to death
photo negatives...........................bleached

Parting is not always a sweet sorrow.
Separations that are eternal can be hellish.

–– not just a parting
................but a separation –– now & forever

................It is not.....................the passing act
That counts but the........................after shock,
That what happened is done,
............Out of reach ––––..............FOREVER.

What was deemed..............................relief
........................cannot........ever be

What was deemed........................sadness
................will............never be..............joyful

What was deemed......................unwanted
................will never be.........dispossessed.

The pain is gone –––......................for now
.................It will come again.............to visit
......................again &....................again

Where there were two,
.................Now there will always be only
................................................................one.
