To one who was never born

=
I cannot fit you amongst dead sisters;
put you to sleep with humming lullaby.

I cannot, for you
have never been born.

Mapping a womb sometimes reveals you,
coiling, illusory and innocent.

Just any womb
carrying a girl.

You seem iridescent midst mother’s warmth;
it means nothing to you, if you may

never be born as
my little sister

whom I have not put to sleep with a song.

A heart-touching poem that made me think of how many sisters and brothers unborn there are.
