Hidden facts

The hand held the wood

Like a father hold the babe

From crown to arse

Tenderly shaved awayThe previous existence

With a sharp blade

Do babes bring any history with them?

Do we strip them clean

Polish them with our love

No mater how faulty it might be?

His eyes were carved first

So that he might see the face

Of his father

His mouth carved last

For words create a distance

Between the hearts of those

We love

The fingers were terrible

To master

The nose was not endowed with grace

Perhaps that is why it is remembered

The thing never mentioned is the genitalia

Did the wooden boy pee?
