He Never Returned

by Nigel Astell

Loving Aunties never moved

in case one day

the door might open

instead time marches on

welcome mat gathers dust

baby cousins enter life

not knowing his smile

the family left behind

still wait,still hope

ten years have passed

since being dropped off

in Manchester city centre

traveling to a hostel

for a few days

disappearing into thin air

no goodbye messa...
