He said.
February 20, 2013
He said, “I will take care of her.”
I trusted him.
He said, “She will be okay.”
I believed him.
He said, “Go wait downstairs.”
I sat.
He said, “Just a few more hours and we will be done.”
I bought coffee.
He said, “This is common procedure.”
I listened.
He said, “We need to perform a Cesarean Section.”
I shuddered.
He said, “The nurse will get you when it is over.”
I waited.
He said, “There was nothing we could do.”
They both died.
