The Counting

By Linda McCullough Moore

It will be five years Friday,
Sarah said,
since my sister died.
Yes, I think, five years, and thirty years
since my father died,
and a million different days
since we were
daughters, sisters.
 
But shall we count
that way?
 
Will eternity be
Measured?
 
Does not memory
say it won’t be marked
by years,

and does not love refuse accounting?

Linda McCullough Moore is the author of two story collections, a novel, an essay collection and more than 350 shorter published works.

Her first story collection was endorsed by Alice Munro, and equally as joyous, she frequently hears from readers who write to say her work makes a difference in their lives.
