Slosh. My insides are liquid. I can feel the blood crashing waves against kidney coasts. Tsunami love hurls balled fists red raw into the underside of my belly.

I can’t blame him. He’s doing this for me… for us… for our future.

Steel toes fracture ribs and my tears mix with taquila-laced saliva on my cheek; I love him still. The royal blue-black of my abdomen and the swelling in my chest drives me head first into the undertow.

I don’t want to fight it. Abuela says it’s like falling asleep. Babies need to sleep. See baby, I AM a good mommy. Your daddy loves me, loves us, so he’s helping us escape laws that would have broken our family. Look at what he’s doing, how deeply he cares. We all deserve to be free.

Stiff open fists crunch contact with my neck. Blood seeps into lungs and destroyed windpipes make the tide the only consolation. I plunge deeper as the pressure builds. Absolute zero. Seismic waves swell and crash me into oblivion.
