NINA
Innocence twisted in fires primeval
The disfigured perfection of a madman
Whose wide unblinking eyes
Bore remorseless witness
To the ghastly masterpiece of his art
A mangled mockery of intellect and inspiration
The father's dark design
Brings the impotence of the brothers
And the tainted curiosity of the soldiers
Only the stranger may act in the child's best interest.
