Perhaps the blackness of the night would sing About us; maybe that’s why we would dare To speak about thoughts of secret things As we sat wondering, and dreaming, too. Of when we. in our own turn, would take wing- About the great things that adults might do. They should have called us in. It was too far To sway in that sweet-misting vapor, be A minute more. We told too much to stars That winked in secret camaraderie. But they were busy chattering inside. Quite unaware their children had just died. Jilda C.
