What's Become of the Baby?

"What's become of the baby
This cold December morning?"


'lim-(")bO: noun
2 a : a place or state of restraint or confinement b : a place or state of neglect or oblivion c : an intermediate or transitional place or state d : a state of uncertainty

Vatican may drop concept of limbo (emphases added).

"Songbirds
frozen in their flight
drifting to the earth
remnants of forgotten dreaming
Calling...
answer comes there none
Go to sleep you child
Dream of never ending always"


...but where?

"But where in the looking-glass fields of illusion
wandered the child who was perfect as dawn?"
