Hello there
This was an intriguing little piece. The first line in reference to Sisters made me think of a woman’s place in the world. This kind of leads back to the title for me — that they are the latitude of longitude — the way.
“her postcards like blossoms from orchards” sounds like all of the wisdom they are carrying in the world.
Anyway, that’s just where the piece took me in my mind. And I have to say, I enjoyed it for the interpretation in my own mind over all.
I’d argue that “I’ve bared witness” sounds a little clunky grammar wise… I think I would have maybe opted for “I’ve bore witness” which feels a little smoother for the past tense. Just in the spirit of honest critique.
Thank you for sharing this little piece, it was certainly enjoyable to pick through.

dear Northern Soul
such kindness of reply brings light to the day
you are delightfully in sync with this p0etic whisper
and your honest critique i welcome with open arms
i'm truly grateful that your eye caught the exposure of 'bare'
which for my inkwell is how a truth when naked is no longer hidden
in that aura there is the hopefulness for womens' freedoms
a truly warm smile
