Andrew's spirit seems to be everywhere these days. I wrote this for him this morning, after walking up to the shop.

Dear Andrew

You are never far from me
A smile in the glint of snow
The wildness in the rushing waters

You never really leave us
cryptic words in birdsong
the cool breath of winter turning to spring

You are so close in the morning light
a comfort and a terrible loss
squeezing my heart to aching slowness

I fill with what you left behind
each step heavier than the last
your voice is the falcon’s piercing cry.
