Resolution and memory:
She refused to go outside on ice-covered pathways, snows lovely but not be be navigated,
She withered in the starts & stops of approaching spring,
Fretting in summertime about the growing,
And only
Settling into winter
After her red-orange autumns
Fade into
What carries from the prairie:
The incessant search
For great opening spaces, where
Love lives
Amid all balance.
