Excerpt

And so we return again to the mountains
Where our hearts have been eaten alive
engulfed in sorrow
laid bare
and fluttered in love.
Where we have run and climbed and sped through snow
jumped into creeks
scratched memories stone on stone
skin on skin
fossils and promises
we were here and will return again.
To the place where you climbed with him
where he once got lost
where she wouldn’t go
where the dark shadows of your stolen mother
linger and lurch.
Where Thanksgiving can be declared
curls set
families made and remade
loves lost
hearts ache.
I wish you peace my love
as you return again to the mountains
one more mother to put to rest
and another mother
one you have made
will hold you in love.
