He's cold, I tell her, forcing the words past my chattering teeth.
I keep my eyes on my child so I don't have to look at her.
Even though I know better, I take another step closer.
He's hungry.
The eyeless woman corrects me, her voice like rope frayed from too much time and use.
Of course he's hungry.
A flare of anger warms my chest for a moment.
Any mother can hear the starvation in his cry.
I've been listening to his hungry howl for weeks.
Let me take him.
I can feed him, I offer.
I try to keep the desperation out of my voice.
I reach out to him, to them.
If the witch of the woods knew how much I want him in my arms, how much I need to take him away from here, she'll bury me where I stand.
The witch throws back her head and cackles at the moon.
The noise silences the baby's cries and forces me to look at her again.
Her eyelids are closed, the moon caresses the sunken flaps and the smooth, taut skin of her cheeks.
Her hair flows down her straight back, lush and dark.
This baby needs a mother to feed him, not a lost girl.
Her voice is like a melody, but it tears at my gut.
