Here she lies

buried in a frozen stack of make-ahead meals

under a mound of clean but unfolded laundry

indistinguishable from an accumulation of small
         appliances in the basement

next to the weed-whacker in the shed

in a drawer of practically new paints and brushes 

indoors but pointed like a Celestron telescope to the stars

touching spine after spine lined up on the bookshelves

tracing an imagined pilgimage on a map
