Missing Kathleen

Gone these three years, her
eyes still wet with Irish tears,

her skin yet damp with mist.
See her there, at the kitchen table?

The kettle sighs like a windblown branch.
The curtains lift in an unfelt breeze.

A shadow ascends in droplets.
Her chair is empty.

The folly of March rain...
