Fever

Tonight
he breathes a labored breath
he bakes in a fever of fear
my fear
I want him well.
I will it, because I can change this
By my own power
I can cool him
Bathe him in a shower
of peace
Bring him home to me.

    As a mother – I know this! You express it so well – the minute seconds, as you watch and wait with concern, spread out into light years! T.

  • Yes, light years is exactly how it feels. And when the fever breaks…pure relief. Thanks so much for your comment!
