the first frown appears
on the newborn’s face
while the father
takes his last breath
too late
for father and son
to lock their eyes
and know
the bond
the newborn’s wails,
the flatline’s shrill sound
are the soundtrack
to the mother’s heavy tears
Another Wandering Soul

Very sad when a parent and child can interact. The poem told a sad story.
