PREGNANT

Sunday we sit
side by side
by Sunday’s heat

she fumbles and combs
through a purse from which surged
a change maybe a cigarette stump

says in frustration any
plastic flower has got
more life than ours

as if life were a burden
that one carries
in a bag in a pocket

and I am an empty urn but
we are glad to inform
pregnant
