Powerful poem. Thank you, Laura.

Fantastic poem! I love everything about it.

Oh Laura Orem, I love every hair on your buoyant head-- a head so filled with golden language, humor, compassion, loyalty, originality--and a lot of genius. Your poetry tells each of us where we have been.

Moving and strong poem. I love it.

I’m struck dumb. This amazing and sunning poem should comfort people everywhere. And allay some terrors.thank you.

Thank you, Laura Orem. Last thing I read before sleep tonight, and I'll carry it.

Thank you all for your generous and kind comments!

"Pretty" is to beauty as certainty is to wisdom. You're beautiful, Laura.

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
