When the Time Comes
Triage late
the night her water breaks,
a fetal heart monitor
seismographs
our son’s heartrate.
The printer pushes out
a page so long it folds in
on itself, so long
it flops onto the floor,
heartbeat-scarred,
jagged as a fissure
splitting open some parking lot
in Tōhoku. Early morning
in the labor room
we hear the grind and whirr
of construction resume
on the other side of the wall.
Out the window
a crane pirouettes
to the thunderclap of dump trucks.
