Touch: The Journal of Healing
Talking with Sakis
by Cally Conan-Davies
My aunt is no longer
in her life he said,
as if her life remained
where she had left it,
holding the air behind
the soft click
of her last breath.
As if a life, as it were, could be ever
so gently woken
to breathe for a moment
here, by the pearl-grey bridge
where the quickening gulf
stands wide open.
(Antirrio, Greece, 2013)
