Superman

men weren't meant to ride
with clouds between their knees

-five for fighting



[eulogy]



one.


one candle for my beautiful irish grandfather who passed away yesterday.

for the past few years my grandpa has slowly deterioriated, mind and body. he was never able to remember my name, he always confused me with my cousins. i went home to visit him in the hospital after his heart attack. hooked up to oxygen, he looked at me and said, 'well hello there katie girl'. he knew my name for the last time and that meant more to me than i'll ever be able to say.

he is gone now, but never forgotten.


three.

three candles for my three grandparents who have now passed, riding with clouds between their knees.

they are gone, but never forgotten.


one.

one candle for the one remaining. grandma, you are more precious than ever.

hold on. we are with you.
