Today’s Focail do a Chara

She sits, staring at the wires
and tubes emerging from her baby’s body,
reaching to machines, pouches, and alarms.
Time interminable in this place,
this space of unexpected horrors and fears.
Please, she prays,
please, just one miracle,
one small ray of hope.
Presence. She breathes.

I write a blog called "Focail do a Chara," a compilation of arts-based, poetic, and narrative thoughts on living and dying, caring and being.
