The Unbearable Weight of Empty Arms
Every thirteen years, cicadas emerge from the earth, their mating song a deafening chorus of biological urgency. Meanwhile, feral cats multiply behind the barn, turtle hatchlings scramble toward the creek, and eaglets test their wings-nature's effortless abundance on full display. But inside the sterile waiting room of a fertility clinic, silence reigns. This jarring contrast captures something essential about infertility: the feeling of being disconnected from the most fundamental rhythms of life itself. What happens when your body refuses to participate in what seems like nature's most basic script? Belle Boggs explores this question not through clinical detachment but through raw honesty, weaving together memoir, biology, literature, and cultural criticism to illuminate the shadowy territory between wanting and having a child.
