CHILDREN'S SECTION Poem by Vrouwkje Tuinman

CHILDREN'S SECTION



The smallest graves are crowded with Santas
and Easter bunnies. In the branches
above them, wind harps vie
for the softest tune. A teddy that
once was loved now gets soaked
and dries, gets soaked and dries.
On the rare occasion a toddler reaches for it,
mother says no. Someone has brought
red-white-blue themed gifts
from the supermarket. Lights switch on
automatically. No one dares throw anything away.
