Sitting here in the land of the dead is too overwhelming.
Spiraling down, down, down but I'm still intact. How? Why?
I'm immobile like the intricate patchwork below me dead; just like the cruel substance that I'm made of.
All the gravestones are scoffing, mocking the only emotion that i am capable of; GRIEF.
Mourn I must; that the woman who gave birth to my father the only anchor I had that still remained is dead.
The gravestones chant, in a language that I can understand, "All must die. Mourn no longer than necessary. Forget the dead. PITY THE LIVING."
They are right. But I will mourn my deceased anchor for a while longer; otherwise, numbness will take over my horizons and there is no going back from there.
So I bury the dead but before I leave, I do not forget to dig my own grave, for the time is inevitable before Grief hands me over to the unforgiving hands of Numbness and I join those gravestones.
