Papa had this new job.
His father was very
Proud of it.
Grand Mama had reservations
That she whispered.
Man named Adolf
Was now all the news.
We moved to a country estate.
Forest all around.
In exploring I found
A strange clearing
All fenced in with
Barbed wire.
A little boy sat
In the dirt opposite.
In striped pyjamas.
Days to come we
Would talk about
How similar we were.
The hopes we shared.
Eight years old each.
His Father was
Elsewhere confined.
Until he went missing
Without explanation.
