BEFORE TEA

Emmeline
Has not been seen
For more than a week. She slipped between
The two tall trees at the end of the green . . .
We all went after her. "Emmeline!"

"Emmeline,
I didn’t mean—
I only said that your hands weren’t clean."
We went to the trees at the end of the green . . .
But Emmeline
Was not to be seen.
