Tahlequah

Some days
I feel like
That mama 
Orca 
Whose baby
Died.

For 17 days
She carried its
Lifeless 
Body on her 
Snout. 

Scientists
Called it a
“Tour of
Grief.”

A mother
Struggling to
Let
Go. 




Beautiful

Little one,

You

Are the most 

Beautiful thing

I have ever 

Seen.


I guess

That must mean

 I’m

Beautiful

Too.
