stillborn

Corey Cook

the grief counselor
walked us to our car

we thanked her

pulled onto pleasant street

minutes after the bell rang
at the local elementary school

seconds after the buses filled

so many small faces
in the windows

including a boy
who reminded us
of the baby we buried

dark unruly hair
broad nose
chubby cheeks

who smiled warmly
waved enthusiastically

forced us to say goodbye again
