I dreamed I was the last midwife in a city of silence
I stood in an empty birthing suite, the walls lined with old ultrasound machines that had stopped blinking. No alarms, no criesâjust the hum of a single fluorescent light. A woman came in, her belly swollen but not moving, and said, 'Itâs been so long since someone believed in this.' I didnât know how to deliver her. I just held her hand until she smiled, like sheâd remembered something important. When I woke up, my hands were still trembling. Not from fearâjust from remembering what it feels like to be needed.
