Microcephaly
-
Unmoored from shallow berths of labored breath
-
and borne awash by screams diluvial
-
as those unfurled at only news of death,
-
her wailing sounded the resounding, full
-
abyss of grief new-fathomed by the glance
-
the doctor shot the nurse before the lull
-
of adamantine faith could serve to lance
-
the race of knowledge toward what lies ahead,
-
for grace, though limping, had become the dance.
