Sun was
playing through the leaves giving off a light green feeling, the wind
gently tugged the branches. Two of us, snickering, watching below. The small walnut tree
in the side yard with
smooth bark, small ants marching along. The years
melted by and it never seemed to grow very much, perpetually the right
size to hide in,
swing from. A car pulled up, two
girls went up the
porch steps and
knocked on the door, went in. More snickers,
jumping down from the branches. We ran
giggling up the steps as they came back out
looking for us. Silly kids.
