Mistress to these footprints,
Lover to the wake of where
He has just passed,
for the path he wanders
is between us all.
The sweet taste of loss
feeds every mountain stream,
Failing ice down to seas
warm as blood
threading thin our dreams.
For where he leads her
has lost its bones,
And the trail he walks
is flesh without life
and the sea remembers nothing.
