Sarah Meehan
A woman burying secrets
in the mountains,
weeping while she works.
A woman walking home
through the fields,
feeling the chill of a clear night
and laying out a blanket.
An old woman,
too weak to lift the clouds.
A short woman
who has lost her ladder.
A woman with sleep
in her voice,
whispering at dusk.
A woman in a white dress
grazing her ghosts.
