Sold the Last of the Cattle My Husband Chose
I sold the red heifers today. Michael picked that bloodline. The buyer was fair. I was hollow.
Farming grief is selling living things your dead person loved.
Rain after. Irish weather has opinions.
Rural life does not pause for mourning. Markets arrive. Animals leave. You sign papers with a hand that still remembers his handwriting on the ledger.
The field is quieter tonight. Not better. Quieter.
I do not need a moral. I need an honest next step. Sometimes that is rest. Sometimes it is showing up again before you feel ready.
The story continues in the body after the words stop. Shoulders lower, or they do not. Tomorrow arrives with its own list. I am still here, which is not nothing.
