The Moment

Florence Kiper Frank

From “New Life”

THEY have me again in the birth-room,

Where all night long I lay in a rhythm of agony,

Horrible hell-rhythm of birth-giving!

Pain …

A gasping cessation …

Pain….
………

How I loathe the white nurses!

Yet they too are women,

They too … are women …

I should be sorry … for women…
