hi Crep
I agree with milo here--this just isn't tossable. let it sit for however long it takes, and you'll want to come back to it eventually.
from my first reading, I got that it was a lover, but then when others commented about a baby, I could see that too. then you gave the full explanation, which put it in a totally different light. personally I like it when people misread my poetry... means they're projecting their experience/PoV onto my words and it's working. anyway I'm rambling but the point is that despite the big words and the vagueness, something about this piece grabbed my attention and I came back to it again and again. that's a good sign. so don't call it shit, just shelve it for now. and keep writing! =]
