a baby is just a cat skimming the lake

"waa-waa"
-OKcomputer

once a baby, once a sun
rising out from ocean
sands, skimming
cats

dance, throw them over lake
like pebbles
and watch them drown.

baby sprinkled,
washes off some sunny sin.
above,
cloud of shadow
brays like elderly
sock in the shape of
a donkey heading
to the slaughterhouse
where the father
who aren't in
heaven

waits with sharpened wits
and steely eyes.

the baby sleeps,
waa-waa's follow
into person.
