funny how it ends
...what's a better word for funny?
absurd (sorry for the language,
but more like completely fucking absurd)
no soft "peaceful" slipping to the next world
or slow dimming of consciousness
more like hurtling
a head first hustle, just out, and gone
that's it
bit of blood on the floor
a grocery list
a new wheelchair
an old walker
no fine Irish wake
just a hollow Zoom funeral
That sounds like a harsh death indeed.....in these times of covid, zoom funerals, and sudden departures. I am sorry, Ollie. We never anticipated times like these.
ReplyDeleteSome deaths are harder than others. Thank you.
DeleteThis wretched Covid is also the disease of solitude and sorrow. Makes our hearts weep. So sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteThank you SC.
DeleteWow. That last line.
