Dear Ghost

Dear Ghost

Lucy
My grandmother
Unspoken childhood's grief
The void she left in legacy
Too soon

Her laugh
Echoing still
My only memory
A lovely life not shared with me
My loss

Dear ghost
In stories told
By those who loved her so
Beside me as I strive to be
Granny

Middle of the night, 24th June 2009, Brighton, for us her six- now only five- grandchildren
