As I stood next to my cousins
late one night, I was told
about my aunt's vices
and felt that they were my own. It
was if the circdus had
taken residence in my soul.
Come one and all! Look at
the man who makes the Hulk
look like a monk! The man
who loves men yet who do
not love him back despite
them openly cheating on him
and showing no interest!
He also doubles as
Lord Grey!

Late the next night, I sat
next to my cousins.
As I listened to them
extol her virtues. They
described her as a paladin with
the patience of a saint and
Hyperion might. I felt like
like our coat of arms were the same except
hers was stained yellow
while mine hung on a rack
reflecting books.

As I stood in the cementary,
late the following night, I wondered
who I was grieving for
as I heard them bellow
"All is right with my soul,
it is right with my soul."
I looked at
the waves of faces.
Again, who am I grieving for
as I place the lily on
the soggy ground?
I wrote this a few weeks ago. My Aunt died right before Thanksgiving. This is just some bilbliotherapy for me. It's been a rough for me because I had two deaths in my family, on different sides, almost back to back. I don't know how much peace it gave me...it just had to come out.
