Outside this building there was
Two huge trees and a water system
With large piping connecting to a shallow
Pool of water
Something happened and She got stuck
In the piping but He went to go find
Her
They both disappeared. She showed
Up about an hour later but we still
Couldn’t find Him. Then we found a
Body stuffed in one of those pipes-
Still no Him.
It was some ten year old kid. Then
A lot of kids were
Climbing on the largest tree. It was huge
And had a wide trunk.
I started looking at a narrow space between
The leggy roots
Of the tree
And the mucky ground
I saw a limp foot. It was Him-
His body was pinned down, face buried
In the mud.
I asked someone if He was still alive
They said “Probably not”
We pulled Him out
And starred at Him for a few minutes
He finally came alive
I stared into His empty eyes
We didn’t say anything.
