Childhood rarely leaves

It arrives daily

In various costumes

And we decide

Shall we play the complementary role to the torturer?

Cat to its mouse?

Lion to its lamb?

Lamb to its slaughter?

Or, breathe into each

Wakeful stab

Holding it like a newborn babe

Letting their gentle heart

Peacefully fall asleep?
