They've Gone

Your children are dead.
Go now and lay down your head.
They've fled, it is said.

Oddly, my poem "A Second Daughter Departs" was what was on my mind when I wrote a little senryu. You may have read it, it's way down that list. Oddly, it seems to have a little humour with its sadness (and they don't often rhyme, but this happens to). Thanks for reading it.
