twenty-nine year old
mother of three
stair step children
all under the age of seven
laboring under the weight
of her fifth month of pregnancy
with the fourth baby
came home from work one night
and shot herself twice
once in the head
and
once in the heart
yet it matters not
the numbers don’t add up
or that her commonly unlawful boyfriend
was never charged with the crime
because ’round these parts
they call that sort of death
a kentucky suicide
