Headlining monsters smiling at
News cameras; lacks of
Regret framed with
Blitzes and the
Disgusted attention
Of normal people.

Parents making each other's
Tears their own in
Disbelief, as children in
Hidden rooms
Search for the soft comfort of
Their inner

Teddy bears while pointing at
Dolls in the hands of
Patient professionals.
There? OK. And...
There? Caring strokes on
Innocent hair.

You're doing fine,
Darling. A wounded
Feather finally rested in a
Nest lap. *You're
Doing just
Fine.
