Poem: Vision of a Child

by Lottie Allen





Blank face of winter staring;
Steel eyes and lips drawn thin.
Release my spirit unto spring
Hear my words drowned within.

Black shroud city hums to dawn
Again, like clockwork I see thee:
Vision of a child bestowed upon
My guilty conscience and nobody.

Worlds unfold in tender mind
Her softness warped and wild.
Though letters cannot reach her,
I reminisce that child.
