that is to say, something

I am tired from D&D. Wtf. Self, could you get more pathetic? (Or maybe I'm just tired, yeah, I know, cold + recent sleep deficit, but still) Anyway, feeling a little better about Bebop. Still down, but I know that just takes time. I need to post a pic of him, will have to look at what photos Mom and I have saved.



Day 7, 11/7/10 time?(written while at D&D game)


When you no longer eat the marigolds

I will lay your favorite things around you
like flowers
because you have made today
your Day of the Dead
and I will light this lamp beside you,
an electric candle next to the bed that is your altar
Let us remember you, together,
before you go
until I leave you held by the moon's mother-arms
while I greet the dawn and give it the food offerings
you didn't eat
I haven't eaten either,
nor will I
until tomorrow, when I walk in daylight
You can be my new shadow;
stand behind me, so I can shade you from the sun

Maybe you'll want the sugar skulls
when I bring them next year.
