But you’re pretty sure she’ll come again.

You can watch for her by the window, or you can go outside and play.

She might come when day turns to dusk.

This time Grief is not an elephant

or a deer

or a fox, but—

a mouse.

Look into her eyes.

They are curious and kind.

Stroke her gray-cloud ears.

Maybe Grief is good at listening

because she has those giant ears.

Sit quietly with her.

Then, when you’re ready,

talk to her.

Tell her you sometimes

trumpet to the sky.

Tell her you sometimes

bound and bay and squeak.

Tell her most days, though,

you feel small, like her.
