I don’t know anything about death. I don’t think I do, I never thought I did. Every day it seems I know a little less. Today was Riley Gale’s birthday. He passed last August, in his early 30s. Much much too soon. I remember that day was a state. Then things became even more upside down. Everything became dense, full of bad violent colors, and heavy. Like someone inside had turned on the gas. Could not light a match. Then two weeks later Wade Allison passed. Another friend, an angel. Upside down, now it felt like a tornado, or drowning. It was much worse in Texas. Each was from Texas and lived there. This was all in the midst of the pandemic. No one could grieve normally. Sometime around September the dam broke. But nothing changed for a while.
