mortal self.

My deepest commiserations.

As I’ve said before, how I always cooped with departure, is

via literal delusion. Or as the psychologists would call it –

denial. And it sure worked like a charm. To simply imagine

they’re out there somewhere, just not here next to me. After

all, just how real is mortal living anyhow - isn’t it?

Even so, I bid my deepest farewell to her mellifluous soul –

one of grand sagacity I’m sure. “There, there” as they say.

But one thing I’m sure of… You’re now as strong as two iron

ladies.

Just as wise, just as titanic.

My saving grace now, however, is just how pertinent that

tiny window over at Spotify is. It’s shaping up to be a new

home for me. Peering closely hour by hour, to outline any

semblance of movement – of your existence. The art of

scraping through.

I think she knows.

Yours,

R

Esq. April 2021
