miscarriage teaches us how to live:
the ache in a mother's heart will carry her along
Day 20 for NaPoWriMo, prompt by the official NaPoWriMo blog again: "write a landay". A landay is a 22 syllable couplet that comes from Afghanistan. For a really indepth look at a landay, and some beautiful examples mixed with stunning photography and more besides, check out The Poetry Foundation's informational piece on them.

Title sucks because landays typically don't have titles.
