Unbearable

The blanket weave was perfect

Threads of blue and green subtly blended

Each stitch the same and not over tensioned

The bear's eyes were multifaceted

Crystals chosen for their colour 

Set so the iris looked real

Before being lacquered laboriously

Sanded and shined until the rounded globes gleamed

Felted ears and velvet paws

Perfectly matched 

Adding to the softness of his face

His once plump frame, lay mangled

Punctured and torn in the corner

With the remains of last week's dinner

The goose feather stuffing

Indistinguishable from debris

Littering the floor.
