A Night In ICU When Mother Is Dying

[vagabond]

The "pens clicking" also adds to the musicality of the piece. It's all choreographed on a hospital floor. The "dance of death" or something like that. The beeps of the machine (almost put that in), the clicks of the pens, the shoes on the floor, etc.

Read it again in this vein.

can´t read it this way with the title saying "mother is dying".
the first two lines of the second stanza also don´t work if i read it that way, seems they´re too personal and serious to fit into a dance of death. almost as if it belonged to another poem.
