Sucking on his ventilator tube, he
calmly returns to his NICU room,
ho hum, no big deal, no more heart-lung machine.
I'm here, I'm still here.
I'm the miracle baby, the one who was signed
up to donate my kidney, about to be let go,
until my little echocardiogram showed "something",
a shift of some sort and my trajectory did an about face.
and then
well, not so great, and about to give up hope
and
I'm still here
sucking on my ventilator tube, contentedly even,
waiting for the next step.
I'd like to go home.
