Conversations,
a day of grieving,
1/22/94 six

i sit in my house
i’ve been so tired

i can’t take being alone

i’m too scared
too many things
weighing on my mind

one day
the child from next door
came over

i was working in my kitchen
he told me to look
outside my front window

i didn’t want to stop my work

he begged me to look
so i got up
walked over to
my living room

and outside
the picture window
in my front lawn
was a row of little
snowmen

“those are little children
out there
to make you
happy”

he said

and they did
