Visiting the Funeral Parlour Gillian Bickley - UK
Small and still, you lay there; your thoughts removed to another plane; beyond me, beyond us all, hieratic. . . . Our concerns not your concerns any more. . . . Our lives of no interest to you any more. The immensity of your absence and your presence is a lesson in respect.
