A Darling Child. for O & A. By Jane Robertson Email: meif_lives at yahoo dot com (above email address formatted to reduce spam) August 28, 2008 What has happened to the World? She squeals, "My all time favorite movie is "GI Jane"! Oh my God!, I Love that movie!" Squeal. Squeal. Sigh... Another one, with Black Paint for fingernails, has four piercings in his head and, with pride, tells me there are More. I decline his offer to let me know Where. He is Porcelain. With Robin-Egg Eyes. An Angel Waif with downy Red Fluff for hair. Now boldly murdered with a streak of Deep Purple hanging like a Curtain over one eye. His skin is pure and pale. Like all Red Heads. Like my father's. Like my son's. He was someone's Sweet Baby once. Bathed and combed. Rocked with simple Love Lullabies. A Darling Child who ran Wild across the Green Grass Hair Waving in the Wind. Run Wild and Innocent while you Can. The World too soon will make you Sad. About the author: I enjoy the thundering sound of quiet. |
