• And life goes on, which seems kind of strange and cruel when you're watching someone die. But there's a joy and an abundance of everything, like information and laughter and summer weather and so many stories. My mother urges me to write them down because, "You're the last of the Markhams, my love." So I record dates and journeys and personalities and traits and heroes and losers and weaknesses and strengths and I try to capture every one of those people because one day I'll need what they had to offer.

• You sleep with a dream of summer weather,
  wake to the thrum of rain—roped down by rain.
  Nothing out there but drop-heavy feathers of grass
  and rainy air. The plastic table on the terrace
  has shed three legs on its way to the garden fence.
  The mountains have had the sense to disappear.
  It's the Celtic temperament—wind, then torrents, then remorse.
  Glory rising like a curtain over distant water.
  Old stonehouse, having steered us through the dark,
  docks in a pool of shadow all its own.
  That widening crack in the gloom is like good luck.
  Luck, which neither you nor tomorrow can depend on.

  Anne Stevenson

  Summer, Dream, Rain
