Trouble Breathing
We ran a trouble breathing call one night on Medic Three Nine
A woman in her 40s
Developmentally disabled they said
She was skinny as a stick
She couldn't’t speak
I thought she would die soon
Her eyes were full of fear
Full of the universe
And for some reason she reminded me of a girl from Hiroshima
She reminded me of Christ on the Cross
She reminded me to breath.
