plague poetry 1


I look at my child and follow the lines of her face
I see imposed on her the girl she was
telling me I was the best mom ever
for taking her to the ER at 1 in the morning because she could not breathe
I think of the steroids,
the nebulizer,
the doctors and nurses and child life specialists.
I think of holding my sweet girl in the bathroom with the shower running hoping I could help her
and I buy a humidifier online, just in case.
