when your photograph is left i will remember how you banished living
things from the house. waged battle with the robins. painted in pashmina, silk.
how your stitch in every tapestry. how mary, virgin, first. how meat, my mouth,
before in yours. my stubborn root. the peace of tea. how you held my hand.
