Fugue: Neonatal Unit

   The pulse oximeter, I like to see it lap the Miles--
   you and the fueling, the oxygen--
   the saturations they'd watch you
   for the night, a distance covered
   and the heat lamp's
   one absolute:

      I'll tell you how the Sun rose--

   A Ribbon at a time--.

   The weeks: blood from the heel
   you tired at the early work and tubes
   the thin gold milk our picture
   propped by the isolette our voices

   And lick the Valleys up--
   recorder trios on the tape
      all the Dickinson

   Monitors now loud Then quivered
   out of Decimals--Into Degreeless Noon
   the muted percentages fear
   what regulates, sustains
   small
   blood-pressure cuff
      and the body finds
      its own warmth.

   The last washing, washing
   of hands
      to be clean enough so as to say

   These are the days when skies resume.
