The Dancing Tree, A Cautionary Tale for Parents

This is another nightmare I had that I’d completely forgotten about, until I found this unfinished comic buried in my hard drive today.

love is stored in the kitty cat

Time does not bring relief; you all have lied Who told me time would ease me of my pain! I miss him in the weeping of the rain; I want him at the shrinking of the tide;

The old snows melt from every mountain-side, And last year’s leaves are smoke in every lane; But last year’s bitter loving must remain Heaped on my heart, and my old thoughts abide.

There are a hundred places where I fear To go,—so with his memory they brim. And entering with relief some quiet place Where never fell his foot or shone his face I say, “There is no memory of him here!” And so stand stricken, so remembering him.

– Edna St Vincent Millay
