Halum Buro Waits

Halum Buro waits in the hidden corners of the world. He waits in the darkness and under beds. He waits behind tree trunks in the playgrounds. He waits in the festive crowds and the fairgrounds. Halum Buro waits. He waits and watches. Watches and waits. And sometimes he pays a visit to the little ones. The boys who are unkind to their mothers. The boys who hit dogs and other kids. The boys that grow up to be cruel fathers and cruel husbands. Halum Buro waits.
