[There are times] by Yasmin Yonis
There are times sadness visits me without a warning, sits herself down without even knocking. I wonder where she comes from, why she arrives, who she thinks she is.
Then I realize, “oh, this is grief. This is a mourning.”
This is a guest that requires tenderness
&
soft hands.
