The moon has found a way to pierce the wood's gloom, lighting the bare ground and giving it the same silvery glow as it had given the snow.
In the center, I see my childhood.
I'm on my battered feet and have taken two aching steps before I realize what my eyes have been trying to tell me.
The baby isn't on the cold ground, wrapped in a pale blanket with spring flowers embroidered around the edges.
He's naked and held in age-spotted, thin-skinned arms.
He's crying, screaming, wailing, and it pierces my ears.
The woman holds him close to her chest, her stringy white hair hiding her face from me as she bends over to him and croons softly.
I make a sound, a wretched whine, and she looks up at me.
She has no eyes.
Her nose is crooked.
Her smile is thin and doesn't hide her sharp teeth.
Her dress is made of decaying rags held together by a sash around her waist.
A soft breeze brings me the stench of stagnant water and rotting leaves.
Of cattle dead in the field.
Her skin sags beneath her empty red eye sockets.
Everything about her makes me flinch.
I know what she is, but if I don't think of it, I can pretend for a moment longer.
I can't keep looking at her emptiness, so I rip my gaze to my child.
He lies limp and crying in her arms.
The moon's silvery light does not hide the way his bones protrude through his blue-tinted skin.
