because you are relentless
They never ask me about my son anymore. It's been a long time, but don't they still care about him?
I miss it. How's he doing? I want to tell them that he's bruised. That he's tried to run away again lately. That he isn't eating. That he's wanted to ask about his mother, but won't, because I lie.
Maybe then they'd help me. Us. I don't know what to do, because he was stillborn, but he was still born, yes. My fingers are around his throat, on his pulse, but there's no beat. He was stillborn, still born. Right?
Why won't anyone ask me about my son?
