Life in Technicolor - I


Life in Technicolor – Part I
By Brandon Palzkill

A cold, clinical room sits
at the end of a sterile hallway,
within an unremarkable hospital.

Buzzing fluorescent tubes
cast their soft white glow
over a whirlwind of commotion,
as doctors and nurses work diligently
around a struggling woman;
the center of all attention.

Unimaginable pains rend her;
eyes clamped shut in agony,
she heaves and shrieks to the heavens,
until her blinding torture
reaches its ultimate climax;
a virginal cry splits the air.

The woman finally breathes; rests;
lost in delirious euphoria,
gazing at the miracle before her…
the newborn daughter in her arms.
