hi .

called
to say
she's unplugged
and
her water's broke

spoke to her
epidural's
been
mentioned

his tire's
punctured

going there
getting him

to the new hospital

where we'll wait
like weeds in the field

--------------

one day later
at ten
then

a c section

baby's turned face up

mother's a fever

my son standing near
deer in the headlights

night's been a long one

none of the chairs here

are comfortable
