I wish I could speak to you
but I don’t understand the language of the dead. Stay here and watch with me.
Watch the sky shift from flaxen to coral to mauve
and, as the minutes pass, to muted grey.
Let’s watch with the door open for the light to go.

'Stay here'
Meantime, Majella Cullinane, Otago University Press, 2024

because love is something left and the body is empty, a basket forgotten after Sunday's fair quiet like the fall of grey hair when you shake your head to forget love is something left

I’m saddened to learn of Majella’s passing. Every single meeting with her left me feeling better about the world and every living thing upon and within it. My sincere condolences to Majella’s whanau and many friends.
