Little boy lost

Is there enough ink to
Permit your story to
Be told, enough ears
For your truth to be
Heard, this sputtering,
Stammering nervousness
Of a tale that can't
Be told, just now, but
Foreshadowed in its
Intermittent grief and
Body rending sobs.

Be silent, be quiet,
Go to your room,
Get away, you're
Too much, too
Much, so go hide,
Hide, hide
Away.
