Notes About The Poem

The Curtain of Pain Fell Upon Us

While snowflakes continue to fall,
upon a night  pale as ghostly winter
I falter from my own distraught pause--
the hazy  moon watches my young girl
a serene angel laying in starshine, on a bed
frigid   cold   with her  tiny body 
wrapped in  fine linen and pink bonnet: 
I could still recall her pupils tightening, 
while through glimpses silent, my own mouth
utters, ' fight, my dear one, fight!'

Yet, her last gasp escapes a frozen outline,
those eyes blinking restlessly up high
as my fallen gazes droop at her gaunt form --
How this heart cleaves till screams rack
my own body with convulsive, inconsolable
anguish: this route to a thievish doom
makes me seethe, slam,  screech at life
for my child's unborn dreams ...never to fly, ever.
It rains and a mantle of tears drown
upon her skin,   my face  in endless whys--
as I howl with night birds for the villainy of time.
