Have Mercy on the Children Who Were Chosen, Bradford Skow (June 2026)

 

Have Mercy on the Children Who Were Chosen

Have mercy on the children who were chosen;
For what was given can be given back.
Have mercy on the family of spare parts
Assembled by a judge with stamp and pen.
 
We look with longing on the accidents:
On fumbling teenagers who lose their heads,
On babies kept in panic and despair,
On fate; on flesh and blood with flesh and blood.
