suspended
in a uterine vastness
of lost space
my silent scream
I am I am I am

懸置
在已失去附著之處
的浩瀚子宮裡
我的無聲吶喊
我在這裡我在這裡我在這裡

Chinese Translation (Simplified)

悬置
在已失去附著之处
的浩瀚子宫里我的无声呐喊
我在这里我在这里我在这里

  1. Ls 1-3 establish the thematic context of the poem while Ls 4&5 enhance the tone and mood.

    And Carole's use of repetition adds emotional weight and psychological depth to the poem, stirring the reader's reflection on the pro-life vs pro-choice debate.
