Pat,
Your poem is so like a poem written by a late friend. He was an incredible linguist and one of the Navajo Whisperers in the CIA who used the Navajo language in WW2 to fool the Japanese and Germans. He persuaded me to take my own work seriously and so I love your graceful poem for that reason as well as for its own sake. The dear dead is a magic and comforting idea.
Janet
