QUISLING

I sit opposite
the face of a child
so exquisite
my heart breaks
to touch it

But that cannot be
for I am a mentor
and trusted
guide
to do so
would be taboo

But it's his face
I see in the curve of
her chin

Read the rest of the poem Show less

turn of her nose
flutter of her eye

She's my friend
'my greatest foe
is my greatest love'

She asks for council
I give it
she asks for truth
I withhold it
for the Quisling
inside me
weeps
rages
brokenhearted
at the irony

I teach your
child
it could have been
ours
