Oh, there

Over there I see

A crying child

Beneath that Willow tree

Why are they crying?

Are they just sad

Or is someone they know

Dying?

Is it someone

I killed?

Is it someone

I’ve tasted?

Oh, crying child

Why do you weep?

You look like a cherry

Your cheeks so red, sweet

No, keep crying

Don’t pay me mind

Keep crying for something

While I come from behind

Shh, child

Do not weep no longer

Oh, the choking sounds

That escape you, fonder

The crying child

Is no more

All limp in my arms

Fitting right in the car door

No one was there

Except that Willow tree

But it will never stop crying

It will always weep
