Agatha 'Aggie' 2002 - 2022

 
 
 
 
 
Her last exhaleafter twenty years of them—seemed the easiest one, for her

Assuaging her, until the last; I'm now in need of some of that assuaging, for me
        
My awareness of her absence echoes like a silent alarm from an unexpected vacancy just within earshot (and, paradoxically, known-about for years)
 
I'm curiously-glad the ground is frozen; postponing digging the grave is a whole huge, tiny grey blessing (for next year)
