Kylie and I
are snug in a recliner
watching Snow White
and the Seven Dwarfs.
When Snow White
is in her glass coffin,
I think of my mom
in pain and how close
she’s come to death.
Kylie wipes tears away.
She sniffles
and says, “Sometimes
the sad comes out
through my nose.”
I reach for a tissue
and give Kylie a hug.
