| Attempting Burial 28 March, 2010 | Hannah Baker Reams of paper validate plotted grounds kept swept by memory burning low. At Nunhead Cemetery a sun, translucent in pale sky, lights my back as we scatter. Not quite committed yet a bright future is here; one hillside rises another. Aged fruits and incense soften the passage for one, an oak tree sighs for another. Pink dusk eases us all. Ash gone wet under the tap settles in among the algae which my fingers dig captive to cool reflection on steel. I pick myself up to stars falling on night, they wink as we slip back to the road where our eyes meet just as bus P12 pulls in. |
