What is recorded here
Marianne and the children walked to Drumbare on a bright spring day, laughing at the sway of grass and the smell of wet earth. They saw no stones, but they remembered the dead who had lived there before roads or fields existed. Marianne touched the warm soil and imagined hands building a chamber for someone they loved. The children sat quiet for a time, hearing the absence as a room rather than a vacancy.
