“Hoping for a miracle is waiting for a lost train. At a glance, everything is recovered, and at a glance, everything is gone. You don’t know what’s going to be. At each second, you are hoping that each beep from the clock leads you to that breakthrough. Excited about what could be if lucky, and sad for what it is. The now has been defined. There’s no miracle because the moment has defined what it is. You are either left with believing or moving on.”

“A Mother Steeled by Stewart Stafford
A haunted mother in despair's glade,
That echoed with her feral screams,
Sifting through tiny bones for reasons,
Catharsis an absent but invited guest.
Healed knees, once bloody, kneel,
Cobwebs wiped, storm damage fixed,
Bittersweet, her baby has taken wing,
His bruises, all of him, now flown above.
Daybreak's star field on the final vigil,
Dropping the self-flagellation whip,
Fragment memories of her infant taken,
Striding forth, her scars a living map.
