Slan's Graveyard

Slan's Graveyard is a graveyard in County Down, Ireland. Perhaps slan itself is a living word, not a dead name, and the graveyard is a room where farewell keeps getting rehearsed. Maybe the stones are not markers but pupils, learning the shape of letting go. Imagine walking past them at dusk, hearing each stone whisper your own name back a half-second late.
