Card Board Box

My heart jolts from being frozen to life unchanged.

 

Darkness looms on my bed

 

I hear you cry all around me

 

my heart jolts from being

 

frozen to life unchained

 

gathering senses as I could

 

put a robe around my frigid

 

body sprinting to hunt your

 

voice in empty, echoed areas

 

one room has my books

 

a dusty collection of seashells

 

one room abandoned, another

 

is a small kitchen and window

 

you are now wailing in fear

 

tears are trailing down my

 

face, my mind is racing

 

thoughts of you hungry

 

needing me to feed you

 

I check the bathroom a final

 

time before I trip over a box

 

of your precious, tiny items

 

a box with your lovely name

 

in cardboard was all I ever

 

had of your sound as I never

 

heard it the maddened day I

 

gave birth to you.

 

to you
