This third child possessed
the smiles of angels
but then what foreshadowing had crossed
the others and left them dead.
If only Klara saw the change,
the guardian angel fading
and little Adolph taken up
with demonic company.
Unsubmissive to discipline
quick to anger, deeply incensed
becoming more monster than man.
Had this tarnish marred each birth?
And if Klara could have fathomed
would she have relinquished
to the heavens
the one the angels could not save?
1993
