\"the shallow trench of your stride\"
Blessed be the weight of your heel
upon the scree,
you who crossed the salt-flats
before the rains came back.
The air still curls
in the shape of your breathing;
the stones you overturned
are still cooling in the wind.
I do not know your name,
nor the house of your kin,
but I walk
in the shadow of your passing.
