Prayer During a Time My Son Is Having Seizures by Sharon Olds

My poem is from the perspective of a mother who's child endures physical struggles as a result of his seizures. And throughout the poem she speaks in many metaphors that describe her child as much more than a medical condition. In the end, the theme of a mother's love shines through.

I like the mix of sonic materials. I'm having a bit of trouble taking in the text with the current pacing in the earlier segments--e.g., around 25 secs. You can do a work around in Rush to give the end more of a fade out. The imagery and feel of the poem is very nice.
