"At four weeks your baby is the size of a poppyseed."

[mabithdarling]

poppyseed
speck of dust
grain of sand

flesh of my flesh
suffering little poppyseed
feeding on narcotics
bad things going in
bad things going out

all the drugs, all the pills,
medically necessary, life-preserving
but not for you, poppyseed.

right now, right this second,
developing the same problems,
the same defects that the drugs treat
in your host, poppyseed.
