Chelsea and Westminster
She nurses children
Infant's shrill screams beat a normally absent Father's forced coo-ing
Trying to calm a child he barely remembers
Violating with awkward hands that pretend to care
Keeping up semi-detached high end suburban appearances
Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents pour expensive juice from cartons
Fake pleasantries exchanged, annual salaries discussed
Her feminine hands carry pure love,
100% concerntrate
needles, syringes, hugs and oodles of comfort
it shoots through veins and numbs their system
Child drifts off whispering 'Please stay'
Mother thanks her in a tired trance
Idil wants to take nothing more from the impoverished woman's life
She wishes the Father wasn't a bastard
She carries her clipboard and moves into the next room
