​why did you go
​little fourpaws?
​you forgot to shut
​your big eyes

​where did you go?
​like little kittens
​are all the leaves
​which open in the rain

​little kittens who
​are called spring
​is what we stroke
​maybe asleep?

​do you know?or maybe did
​something go away
​ever so quietly
​when we weren't looking
