Laure, Jacob is...

"Laurie, Jacob is dead".

Words.
Killing words.
Words that killed.
Words that crashed into my head,
crashed, burned, exploded.

Exploded into
too many pieces
that couldn't come back together
to make sense.

I am Laurie.
Those words were said
to me by the doctor.

Because my baby's name is Jacob...
... he must mean me.

Typing the words doesn't help.

Not one bit.
