This Death of Dreams

         For Mark and Leslie

The letter sits where she left it.
One word, just one word screaming in red:
INFERTILE
She will never look at it again.
She strokes the fur purring at her side
and wonders how and why.
How will she tell him
about this death of dreams,
he who always wanted one of each
or two ... it never mattered.
Will he move on to another now?
Will her trembling body
remain untouched.

He knows his boys and girls
can swim. He's launched his million
mini-me's
time and time again.
But that letter sitting on her desk ...
one word
makes his rugged features cry.
He tries to imagine a future
of nephews and nieces, piles of dog and cat fur.
He goes to hold her trembles in his arms.
He vows to never let go.
