Unopened Door


Wild Child:  The Remarkable Case Of  Victor Of Aveyron


Running through woods in a fraying linen shirt
Hair, a nest of brown knots,
Eyes, like a deer

Child of fresh air
And wind
Snow and earth

Christened “Victor”
Ripped from roots and trees,
Dragged into captivity of civilization

Unable to open a single door,
Learning only two words,
Milk and God.
