SONNET [V]

i heard in Iceland, it is more acceptable
to have a child out of wedlock:
low-cost child care ensures that all
are cared for, a nation of mothers and fathers

i was raised with a hint of Mexico:
it's not okay but what else can we do?
remember the Vijen had her child
so now we must have ours

you were raised on lakes where
homes blend into one another -
there babies are things that ruin
until they are buried secretly

i've heard that Iceland
is very pretty in the summer
