Am I preparing for his first hello?
Or bracing for his final goodbye?

3 days old
Monitors beeping
A rude intrusion
The backdrop to a cacophony of stimuli
Wires running
Ulraviolet light spilling
Syringes filling
Breathing

Is he dead or is he alive?
Will he make it through the night?
Listening, straining
Soft puffs of air breathing

Sweat gleaming, glistening
Panting
Bending over
Struggling for breath

What did I see, Mummy?

I’m driving on the motorway,
When tension starts to rise,
My eyes are focused outwards,
While my inner child cries.
