Our Lady's Acre

Our Lady's Acre is a graveyard in County Antrim, Ireland. Perhaps women buried their brightest children there before leaving, maybe the acre belongs to the mother in every woman who ever loved so much the loss cut her open. Imagine standing at its edge at dusk, feeling the grass pull at your ankles like a hand pulling you back from the road, not to trap you but to remind you that love does not end when breath leaves the body.
