Tales of a Double Virgo
Episode #45
death. grief & popcorn.
death of a friend
of a stranger
of ourselves
<a part of us, that is>
grief
oh grief
has our way with us.
anyone want popcorn?
grieving the loss
of the old
of the new
of the
thought-it-was-forever
person
place
animal
job
home
relationship
body part
belief….
xtra butter on my popcorn.
we are not who we were
and
we grieve it
rejoice it!
embrace it
embrace us
we
them
ALL.
lots of salt too
on my popcorn.
sometimes we wish for it.
just take him her them they us we
out of the misery.
but can misery really be taken out of?
maybe i should have ghee instead of butter?
the rawness of rawtown
is realer than real.
our inners feel bruised
battered
meat tenderized.
or coconut oil?
how does one recover
from grief pin ball?
a hard thing
shot forcefully thru us
to bounce around
ringing and lighting up things.
fuck coconut oil.
maybe what lights
is the darkness within us
only to be brightened
eventually
by pain.
xtra butter it is.
just breathe
just breathe
that’s sometimes all we can do.
we WILL make it thru this
all of it
we will.
pass the popcorn.
don’t panic. of course it’s fucking organic.

Love it, Hemo. Well said. Miss you.
Always amazing timing when I read these- grieving my father’s death (well- grieving his absence in my life) again recently. Thank you again.
