there is something beautiful
about the sight of three midwives standing outside
at dawn
under the halo of streetlamps
sifting through the night's events
a neighbour leans out of a doorway
Have they had the baby yet?
Yes!
Is it a girl?
We can't tell you!
laughter as they drive away
the tires shushing on wet roads
