11.12 ...restitution...
chill of sadness
waking up disoriented
child’s cry trills
gone the warmth
of the day - cold, wet
tears freeze
frown stays down
too long - demanding
restitution
The fury of four
years fumes, unfair!
wants equalling needs
child’s cry trills
daylight gone, winter wakes
chill of sadness

restitution noun: 3. restoration to the former or original state or position.
For this Ghost-Writer episode we’re going to revisit Richard Wright (1908-1960). Chèvrefeuille featured his haiku several weeks ago in an episode of “Little Creatures”. (You can re-read his post here.)
