For ten long years you blessed
my scanty boozums
abundantly.
How wondrous to fill
out my dresses and shirts
and to, for the first time,
justify wearing a bra.
For the duration of your visit
my body swelled and
shrank,
four times in all.
My uterus has ballooned
for the final time,
never to distend again,
though I will appear
four months pregnant
every time I eat too much.
My baby,
my seca leche
(milk dryer-upper),
is three-years-old next week.
You are no longer needed,
so you have pocketed your fairy dust,
packed your wand and flitted away,
stripping my chest of its curves.
Just because you aren’t needed
does not mean you aren’t wanted.
Did you know that?
I miss you.

Oh, yeah. I’ve got 4. Been there, done that, and I miss them, too.

Aunt V, I’ve been a long time member—just took a leave of absence for ten years…

You Can Call Me Jane
You two (JJ and Zoe) are a hoot. I feel as if I am being taken over by mine. The larger my belly swells, they swell as well. While I am thankful for what they will hold for this babe, I do miss the originals.

listen to me. You don’t need breasts to be sexy and happy.

Oh please don’t come back.
I did not much like you.
Cracked and sore were all I was
now let me enjoy
my few months
of wearing my
sexy bras.
None of those snap-on
snap-off
things that never worked anyway.
My uterus was once swollen
and I suppose will
be swollen again.
But for now she remains
nice and flat
except when I eat 6
mini monkey breads…
oh heaven help my
belly role.
Oh titty fairy, oh titty fairy
please don’t come back
to haunt me
for at least
another 9 months.
I don’t miss you
one bit.
