Halsey Hyer
Boy Has Miscarriage
Not even a fetus
can withstand a stay inside
his dizzy wasteland of a body.
He punches himself in the gut—
over & over with his jutted pointer knuckle
to get a real sharp blow.
He pulls a bright red clot
from the crotch pocket of his boxers,
cradles it in the palm of his hand.
Blood trickles down
his leg & stains his sock
as he throws it in the trash.
He types miscarriage
6 weeks into Google
& Google says:
Your baby is the size of a poppyseed!
His baby is a butterfly
knife flowing out.
