Tiger at a Tea Party

"You can't take a tiger to a tea party."
"Swear that you won't tell anyone, not even God."  
I swore.

It was a tale of rescue, murder, escape,
too outlandish to be true.

Somehow, my son had come unhinged.
Time has passed; weeks, months -
It's now seven years since that day

when the moon somersaulted into the light of day,
and the sun climbed into bed with night.
And I have not been the same either.
