Child With a Blanket

Sitting in his room 
Shivering on the floor
Wrapped up in a baby blanket
With flying elephants pictures of
Blue and white
Sutrum with his thumb in his mouth
A 6 year old disturbed child

Frightened by the sound of a baby monitor
He cries of being alone
Unspoken words 
Sounds of murmurs he mourned

Outside the window
A wind chime
Blowing like a bundle of howling wolves
As he hold tightening to his abused ears
He falls deeply in a comatose stage
A child feeding with down syndrome
Learning to be and not to be Autistic
A child with a Blanket
