Spending the morning listening to vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot by Sparklehorse, which was Mark Linkous, who shot himself through his heart earlier this year. See this post for more about that. But this morning I am listening and saddened that he was in so much pain that it came to that.
Most people I admire have committed suicide or lived so dangerously/recklessly that their death might as well been considered a suicide. This makes me worry unnecessarily for the people I admire that are still alive, but there are not many I admire and saying all are suicides is misstating the truth. Some have died as old men/women though not many.
The poem was written for my son.
the sun hides
for Jackson
the sun hides
behind clouds &
cold wind
but
wishes
to
shine down on
my garden
for the flowers

Great poem.
ReplyDeleteIntro was also great. I've also known a lot of people who have had their own private quarrels with life. It doesn't always end well for them.
Thank you Pat, Sorry this is so much after your comment, I've been thinking a lot about it this weekend - specifically the phrase - quarrels with life - we have our own don't we.
