Among other things: A Bird

I have fallen in love with this book

which Anna gave Eva for her birthday last year.

And lately, I am also in love

with poems and my girls and just being here.

All morning I have been watching the saddest news.

I stare at my computer and cry:

14 small coats hanging on hooks.

I keep waiting for Ella to wake so I can go to her and nurse her

but the house stays quiet.

I wonder when the snow will come again.
