Dust and ashes
October 21st, 2007
I’ll be gone for a few days, maybe even a week. The heart (or whatever remains of it) demands space and silence: a little room in which to mourn, a little time to walk around and lay flowers on a grave.
My arrangements of time (little discrete blocks, shifting positions, defying good sense) have always been too full for grief, but now I have been emptied, and maybe — maybe — now I can weep.
