Elise,
Stunning poem. And what a great place to read it. Love the last line, wonderful rhythm there and elsewhere. A big hearty congrats.

I felt a lump in my throat at the end of this. Congratulations, Elise -- not just for the fine placement, but for writing the poem.
Best,
Ed

Excellent poem and worth waiting for. Congratulations on being featured in the 500th column. Numbers should not be significant, but somehow they feel that way.
