he didnt like to relate with
things he read
though how couldnt he he chose to read them
this afternoon he was reading Descartes
Bones it was recommended to him
on page 33 he read It was as though staring into what is surely
the blackest of holes –the grave of one’s child
he
dropped the book
rather it fell from his
handshis hands suddenly inept elastic without strength
his daughters death sapped him
it is the blackest of holes
it is as if he fell in it
inside it
nothing
black sponge
antiseptic
she was cremated
there isnt a grave
the hole was deeper than any
grave could be dug
desperately deaf
there was nothing he experienced in life when he met death that equaled hers
her death was utterly different
he was utterly demoralised
his sensitivity was honed to a keen razors edge that cut his eyeball if he looked at it
