Black Squirrel
There was a large pine I would walk past
Everyday
Near City Hall.
A black squirrel lived on that tree.
Storing nuts all spring and summer.
Running across the lawn.
Sleeping in branches.
I found him one morning dead in the street.
Burst open.
No expression on his face.
I’m sure those nuts are still hidden away in that tree.
