where is my father?
The calf's name is “Jenna Haram´´
( jena haram means a child who is born out of wetlock)
What a lovely name, they all gush in unison.
They still don't know. They don't get it.
The lactating body knows the slim odds awaiting her calf.
She gnashes her teeth when asked about the calf's Dad.
She only has flash backs, a shuddering voice;
“ that's not my offspring , it's a mistake ”
That's the last time she saw him.
