Poem

Deep Waters

the two who had not, until

that morning, faced much of a challenge

in their seven years, passed so fast

from hello until this day, three months beyond

surgery to make his heart whole, pump smooth

and now this interruption, stoppage in the brain

driven by the ambulance into wakeful panic

delivered through the night to unfamiliar days and years

the two draw sustenance from their well of promises
