Eulogy for my first baby, unborn

Rowena Marin
Feb 3, 2022

In the ICU waiting room, the clock’s tick

stirs my stomach. Nausea reminds me I already killed you,

months ago when I stopped your heart

with my stupid existence. Your heart stops again,

exactly one year later, while I’m watching

funny baby videos on Youtube.

I laugh so hard, I cry.

It’s midnight I’m working in the office.
