Massey’s passing today comes hard - she's still
warm in our hearts; there's vagueness where in
every other instance, explanations made sense,
but here we’d wonder whether we’re castigated -
thankfully our memories will savour irrepressible
energy that claimed she was unassailable; it did
not prove to be correct but its feeling embraced
all who came into the intimacy of her innocence
There will be enquiries - & mute self-flagellation
for misapprehension she wasn’t superwoman in
deed in an affectionate disguise, - being still that
lap-dog puppy weary of needs to justify her idea
of what mattered; *Ixodes Holocyclus ended our
speculation, she expired gracefully this morning
