still seeking
a hill to die on
my father at ninety-two

    This is particularly poignant for my local community at the moment as an elderly man, who loved walking the mountain paths, went out a week ago and hasn't been seen since. Everyone is hoping for his safe return but at the same time feel that the mountains are where he would have liked to spend his last days.
