 All today

 I was child

 in the thought of you.

 I climbed a tree

 and read all the names

 carved on it.

 I watched a couple

 making lazy love

 in the bushes,


 and children

 racing through

 the dusty heaps of leaves.

 We could have had

 a picnic here,

 you and I,

 and spent hours

 climbing trees,

 carving our initials

 and making love

 in the dusty leaves.
