[bodytext] => A rocking horse stands alone in a corner; a crib yet dusted still bears the scent of lost youth. Hearts hang heavy, veiled, not orbs of blue, nor the romantic notion of the lunar neo; silent, cast in a haze - three moons witnessed behind a translucent, suffocating cloth of autumn mist. Disappointment is auditory: tea cups shattering, crashing to the floor, shards striking the china dolls splintering faces; mechanical eyes never quite closing, watching the solitary moment, solace descending, witnessing the innocence lost in the passing seed, and the living child. A mother and another, who is grand, was almost great, share a tear of quiet desperation.
