Sword & Shield
Ghastly funeral dream
Rattle on the desk
Afraid:
Death-clenched life.
All she knows
thinks
fears is
Her pain
loss
Loss of him
"What kind of God . . ."
But he . . .
Two rattles on his desk
"There's been a miscarriage of justice!"
Gotta believe it'll be ok.
2.
"There's been a miscarriage of justice!"
Eight long months.
A lifetime -- his lifetime.
Eight months of hope
anger
betrayal
confusion
lost trust
Love.
The baby who would save a marriage
a show
an agency.
If only . . .
Lay it down, sword--
David
-- and shield
Maddie.
The mouth of the wolf was the end of their world!
(Damn fangy, swishy-tailed anger)
Plink! The world down a coin slot;
World for a soda (labeled ABC)
Fairness . . .
