Hackett. Regeneration The floor of loneliness As the wicker casket is horse-drawn away The mouth-harp and cat His only friends at play The cruelty of neighbours Forced to run in mutiny The new home is gangland His perilous destiny The glory of an ice-cream cone and vaudeville show a notion of freedom and the whisper of a self-reliance glow Two solitudes Awaiting intervention’s hand Then comes the calm Of a settlement house planned Education Inspiration Love As the noble pure soul Waves her wand to impart the potential of mind and a God-given heart DeaBeePea 6-22-20 |
