A Death in the Family

hartford 1941

... what would I link to?

The links to my aunt already so engraved, not broken in the least.

Ley lines of the heart. Indestructible by any normal means. Like light.

Light. Yes: her life's barely begun its busy beaming out and out. Passing alpha centuri any day now. As will mine, in an eye-blink or two. Perhaps our paths will cross, meet, join again ...

Oh silly, human mind, that would cast itself everywhere but here.

When the portion before us already shines forever. Like a long swim in a warm ocean with someone you hold dear, she a boon companion in the float. We talk quietly, endlessly, the water and sky are so beautiful.

Oh blue water, oh ocean sky, remember me, dear A, I will always carry you.
