Isnt this kinda weird

his brother standing beside him arms loose hands crossed at his groin turned his head he was already looking at him looked him in the eyes

                         Is it anymore weird than standing in Sula at the cemetery above the confluence of the two valleys where Lewis and Clark first entered what would become known as Montana where you intend to have your ashes scattered?

Yes

Why yes? That’s to be your resting place.

Ashes don rest Scattered Ill be as close to the earth as I coudever be playing in the sun an moon wind an rain among wildflowers grasses weeds harassing insects an ants until I dissolve

                                                                           Am absorbed

You wont be Not entombed here

                                   he stirred the grass with his toe at the foot of what would be his brothers grave someday

inevitably

I don't know that.

                    his brother walked across his grave taboo  once he was buried

he laughed

              shivered farcically  Ooooh felt like someone just walked across my grave.

Christ

        Seriously

Brother, I don’t think we’ve ever been serious except for wakes and funerals.

                                                                                  Have we? I didn’t know?

    No

               No   Cant say tha I remember a timeNo  The night before I got married and you took me to bed held me in your arms  said You love her. Relax. A whole new world for you today.  You chuckled  A whole new adventure.

Then you kissed the back of my head  said Go to sleep.

                                                             An I did

I don’t remember that.

                                        he chuckled
