Daughter 2

She was small enough to sleep in a bureau drawer, rolled like a sock and replacing fresh laundry still stiff from the line.

Imagine her anonymous helpless.

Most children in that city slept in far worse places than mahogany boxes and lived. She didn't dream of them but grew to see their eyes, wide and hungry, standing outside the gate. Laughing, they stole fruit and ran barefoot through the street.

She slept on.
