Unfed

Her bruised hands
Glisten with false affection
She feeds the stray dog
He followed her home
Starving for the warm
Gaze of a mother
Blindly, he eats
His last meal
From her soiled palms
And finally, a knife
That reeks of his kin.

Evil, subtly laid out. I dig the verse.

@littleb4t What a poignant and evocative poem! The imagery of "care" intertwined with "pain" is powerful.
