In Memoriam, M. A. M.

by

McKenna Byrne


Marie Adornetto Monahan
1951 - 2004

Turn back from us, sweet spring; take all you will
Of promise and our earth with color met.
No summer bring; we are not ready yet
For days without her; retreat from us until
We comprehend she is not breathing still.
Reverse your force until our hearts can get
Beyond their tears and be content to let
Her rest beneath your lacquered daffodil.
Or, if you will, around her silent breast,
Let grow your nature's grace to make all bright
The place wherein she lies, with that great birth
Of splendor in her holy place of rest.
Return - we count no loss your beauty might
Turn round for her and bloom beneath the earth.
