Looking for Leftovers

Parents have become more organized,
nothing left behind,
entrails of an afternoon well spent
with small children who absent mindedly
drop shovels, buckets, toys and float

an absence of toys feels unnatural
knowing that a child was here digging this hole;

have you ever been in a home with children
that had no toys, no color, no semblence
that a kid existed?

it feels hollow.
like that they're waiting for the child to die
or hoping.
