POETIC SPIRITUAL UNFOLDING

Survival Tricks

The Sugar Monster Awakens

Adrenaline spikes
In more ways than one
Via a needle prick
And as a survival trick

There in the now
Already trained the how
Doing what had to be done
Showing up capable as Mum

Ambos on the way
Calm I had to stay
Brave for my little girl

Emotions wait

Patient patients
In chaotic space
Our hands embrace
Keeping occupied
As monitoring subsides

Buzzers
Steps
Rushing and slow
Medical staff on the go

Another allergy case
Extremely puffy face
A bee this time
During school lunchtime

And then another
Accompanied by an older brother
Cause unknown
For lips full-blown
