i can never forget the photo
of david baxter

about the time he first went
to hospital

his eyes large & brown
facing the photographer like
wet terror

his pyjama top his small
shocked
lips
dropped
exposing bottom front teeth

i cannot forget

his pale bruised & chubby cheeks
& tassled hair that toddlers have

his dad
bashed him
to death

kids like david baxter die
on your street
