This is how complex grief plays out, 10 years later:
a 9 hour drive, 400 miles
2 strangers in pick up trucks: 1 angel in carharts wielding a tape measure, 1 blue eyed artist wielding a tape measure perhaps one last time before a move to cambodia
a 5 x 10 plot of land purchased, somewhere up above the 45th parallel
a 22 x 24 x 6″ slab of granite, discussed and imagined, edges broken, faces honed
the shock of a gray and white drawing, a long lost name, and long lost date
standing on a green hill, with a wide view, poised at the halfway point between the equator and the north pole
somewhere near the halfway point between where I was, and where I’ll be.
