an overdue labor


The word she wants to say is too big for her throat. Getting it out feels like an overdue labor.
Like Totally had three babies in her human life, three overdue labors. With the first one, she got induced in the hospital; with the second one, she used enema inadvertently starting birth activity; with the third one, the labor came after tree days of building a rock garden.
Professional help, self-medication, or obsessive activity: are there other choices in there? Like Totally rocks idly in her chair. What name will she give to what she might be pregnant with now?
