11. I Almost Forgot
I almost forgot today.
I took a hot bath without
thinking twice,
drank my tea without comment.
I almost forgot today.
I took a regular multivitamin,
and didn’t notice that it
didn’t
smell like vanilla
as do the prenatal vitamins.
I almost forgot today.
I had a glass of wine with dinner,
its ruby tones did not remind me
of the blood that signaled the end
of the life within me.
I almost forgot today
that I had been pregnant.
And the guilt was nearly overwhelming.

when i had my miscarriage I blamed myself for a long time as I noticed it upon getting out of a bath which i had had essential oils in - blamed myself for ages afterwards
