and it didn’t bother her

when her grandmother cried …

Not one bit.

When they arrived,

Maude placed the red tin box

into her granddaughter’s hands.

“This is for you.”

Far overhead,

the stars blinked,

an angle of geese honked

in the dusky dark,

and Eve, seized with a feeling,

made a promise to herself.
