Baby Love

Baby Love

Meeting You


Meeting you
Crystal Olguin Duffy


alarms were going off like fire engines
fluorescent lights blinded my tired weepy eyes
it was a noisy, loud chaotic mess

you were here
in the midst of this disarray
my sleeping beauty surrounded by plexiglass
your tiny little body engulfed by a massive incubator

you were wrapped in wires and cords
a set of tubes helping you breathe
and another set helping you eat

my hand crept slowly inside your warm crib
your skin translucent and soft
your hair silky black
I can not look away

you are my angel, my love, my joy
my fighter through a series of obstacles

my miracle here on earth
