in the shade under a willow tree full of summer’s green
the branches hung like a curtain all around
as a child it was like a shelter
he sat there smiling waiting
he heard the children gather saying
“We found everyone. Do you want to play again?”
and then they ran off
had he hidden so well they forgot him
or had they never thought of him at all
he remained there for hours until night
head bowed
when his parents came calling
