Ghost Elephants Poem by Jean Valentine
Ghost Elephants
In the elephant field tall green ghost elephants
with your cargo of summer leaves
at night I heard you breathing
at the window Don't you ever
think I'm not crying since
you're away from me
Don't ever think I went free
At first the goodbye had a lilt to it—
maybe just a couple of months—
but it was a beheading.
Ghost elephant,
reach down, cross me over—
One of the good poems of Jean Valentine

A poignant farewell to a love lost. 'reach down, cross me over—' The call to take the poet over.
