****************

Mummy?

Please get up, Mummy.

Please.

Wake up, Mummy.

Please.

Hurry Mummy. Hurry

He's coming back, Mummy.

Oh please wake up.

Don't leave me here with him, Mummy.

Please don't.

Mummy?

I don't like him, Mummy.

He hurt you, Mummy.

I got angry at him

but I didn't say anything.

Cause you love him, don't you Mummy?

You said you love him.

After you shouted at him

and he hit you and you cried

and he said he was sorry

and you cried and hugged him.

You said you loved him,

didn't you, Mummy?

Mummy?

Please wake up.

Please.

Don't leave me here...

alone.

Very strong. The repeated use of the word mommy catches you and keeps you there with the child through it all, feeling his fear, great poem.
