Mother,
You’re clearing a path through the rubble. It’s a clear-cut forest. Brush and roots in disarray. Seed trees standing guard.
Caring for the future.
You clear the way – you make the path. Labouring. With care and love.
Always.
The sun rises and sets so briefly up here in the north, this time of year.
That light.
It seems to have stayed forever.
Shimmering and deep.
