Au couchant

Coitus and kisses devoid of love.
Gravida, zero; para, none.
Rejected by interviews with matriarchy.
Still...
Her heart like the sun warms those around her.
She would each time, au couchant.
Question beyond the horizon.

I like how you intermingle medical terminology.

I always love word economy, you do that well.

How do you feel about Nina Simone?

[S. S. Allen]

Wow thank you sir! And ironically, I try to exclude science when I write but somehow always end up putting it in. But I'd like to cultivate other writing styles.

As for Nina Simone, I absolutely like her music..

"Birds flying High you know how I feel...". " And I'm feeling good." Lol

and as a woman she is desperate to be a mother

[S. S. Allen]

Very much so... :(

Well, this was something awesome! I love that you put some unfamiliar terms for me, I was about to google what they meant but then you stopped my little adventure when you explained it. If you can just do one this for me.
Explain the line,

"Gravida, zero; para, none"

Does it mean she cant give birth therefore could never miscarry?

[S. S. Allen]

Oh ill be delighted to share. Gravida zero means 0 number of pregnancies, never conceived. Because Para follows gravida, consequently she wont have any miscarriages, hence it is recorded as none. Hope that was helpful. I am no good at explaining. :)

[Sir Drift & Mr. Pulse]

Its exactly what I was thinking, thank you for clarifying!

[S. S. Allen]

You are most welcome!

[S. S. Allen]

I apologize for the terms. Let me clarify for those who might not know. Gravida and Para are medical terms where gravida is the number of pregnancies versus Para which means number of miscariages. Au couchant is "at sunset" in French. Thank you.
