Star-Goat.
'When I kissed her" words of a forgotten song
kept cropping up. When I embraced and kissed
her she became thinner and thinner, till I was left
hugging her flimsy, pink see-through nightdress,
the one she used to put on, for me to take off
Friday nights. The intense silence in my bedroom
was broken by a scream that shattered windows
and rocked a statue of cupid, in the city park, off
its pedestal and leaves on evergreens paled. But
when the child, banished to the darkest, coldest
recesses of my, mind began sobbing I opened my
heart and sang him a lullaby

Dear Jan, Beautiful and sad experience! You have expressed it well. I was touched by the part where you speak of singing a lullaby to the 'child.' Bizzy |
