By Caroline Liberatore What child is this that laid to rest nestled in the womb of a stone bridge, stoic in bed? What child is this that knelt on slush tossed aside by anonymity, now raining his croissant-shaped delight upon the sparrows? What child, what melody haunts the murmurings of pigeons and polyester traffic and hums of borrowed language -- He is the trill under the bridge beckoning bent necks under mildew martyred shelter, perforating space with meaning. Caroline Liberatore is a poet from Cleveland, Ohio. She has also been published in Ekstasis Magazine and Ashbelt Journal.
