Their very presence speaks
to what is no longer there;
the way that they fall, or are folded.
There is the dance of life about them;
the way they move themselves aside,
lift themselves up, to let Life take its first breath.
‘Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is no longer here’
Luke 24:5
