Nothing more so than innocence--we only have it for a few brief months before speech I think, as even children can't hold on to it in, as Sherry says, this world. This is a tonal poem to me, in that sort of coffee-colored monochrome that is sepia, which gives a mood of time passing to every detail--of loss, of change momentarily captured in a grasp that can't hold it...just an excellent, mature piece of writing, Shay.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-26151437694355832632016-03-07T23:02:38.386-05:002016-03-07T23:02:38.386-05:00Innocence has a hard time in this world.

Humans beat the living funk out the dogs, and from then on out, the dogs know that at the slightest hint of maybe-possibly-even-just-a-little-bit-I'm-going-to-be-attacked (by man or dog), those beautiful beasts had best blood-rage first, lest they be devoured.<br /><br />The same goes for humans, big or small. There's a fine line between guilt and innocence, particularly when mental instability is involved. It doesn't take much to create a monster.<br /><br />INSANELY brilliant poem, Shay.✿https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044032159371976375noreply@blogger.com
