Reaching Home

A CHILD
REMORSELESSLY ABANDONED IN THE NIGHT
CAN THE DARKNESS ERASE A MEMORY
OF COWERING AWAY FROM REALITY.

A DISTANT WAIL - A START
APPREHENSIVE
SLUGGISH STEPS TRAMPLE THE GRASS
CREAKS OPEN THE GATES OF LIFE
DECADES OF WISDOM PEER DOWN
AT CLEAR UNBLINKING EYES
A TREMOR GRIPS THE WITHERING FRAME
DORMANT EMOTIONS RUSH UP
ENVELOPS IN WARMTH THE SURVIVOR
A PARADISE FOR THE BASTARD.
