There is no screaming

No crying

Only the hustle of seasoned nurses and doctors rushing around you

They've seen it all too many times before

She lies still in your arms

The most beautiful shade of blue you've ever seen


The author's comments:

This poem is about my own birth. I was born premature with lungs that were not fully formed. I was doing okay in the breathing department until my grandmother got there. She says I was the "most beautiful shade of blue" she's ever seen.
