35,000 Feet

I told him as we were over 35,000 feet in the air, supported by metal, unmovable wings- sliding through crystal air. The sun filled the lines of plastic windows on our left like they were apart of a coloring book. The rays were cheap and brassy. The clouds were below us, a rippling white sea.

 

I told him there.

 

Told him that the past few days I had felt different and that on this day the voice whispered to me of the change. That my soul was no longer alone. That I carried two hearts, three kidneys and now- two spirits.

 

He smiled, he glowed. We both fell reverent.

 

            The next day I found blood, fallen fresh from my womb. A shocking, bright amount. More than there ever should be.

And now here I lay, waiting to see if the person inside of me can hold on.
