Left Behind

In five new-christened graveyards,
each firmly fenced against wolves,
she buried four sons
and one daughter.
Rock-ice sluices of gold
washed her husband's blood,
rushed them on and into
wildernesses of white winter passes
and bark-chewing starvations—
It would have been such an easy thing to die—
she of course had done no such thing¹.

May my Hazel be at my right hand; Judy at my left; Sarah at my feet; Catriona at my head; and the prayers of God above me to shield me."
