A Bunch of Consolation

A Bunch of Consolation You think they’ll always be there, (the ones who always have been). They showed you the way, not their way but how to find your own (and what to say), sweeping the path of leaves or snow but then they leave, they go, before you were ready (how could you ever be ready?) to wonder, wondering, what have you learned exactly? To love, to speak up, to hold steady. Hold steady. Maura Dooley from Five Fifty-Five (Bloodaxe 2023)
