Hand Chutney...Sshh

Hand Chutney is one of Virginia's favourite accomaniments Sshh! it is a secret recipe... Virginia decorated the BRAG tree with a nursery of ornaments and mobiles to keep the invisible imagination afloat.

A little plastic bird with frigid wings

that will never feel the wind

she peers out of her distorted little world

and sees a somewhat skewed reality

that she is amongst

yet isolated from.

A desperate hand grasps the arm of the child within.

Fingers pressing deeply into fragile flesh

innocence becomes marked no more so than the mind.

wrap yourself around me long enough

and you will become a mockery

of what I appear to be to you
