There's no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard

The wall-to-wall crowd of the memorial from which I have just returned testifies to the love poured out and returned by the guest of honor, but I would still rather have been in the worldline where they were present to be celebrated in more than memory.

And at the same time it's the Ides of March, locus of internet memes more lasting than bronze. Time is funny stuff.

I'm sorry for your loss, may you hold their memory close.

I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm glad you could be among other mourners for this person.

I am, too. It was the kind of day where I wouldn't have left the house if I hadn't had the memorial to attend, but it was possible for me to be there and so it was important to. And then I came home and a person in a sleek dress holding a paper cone of flowers leapt out of a car and dashed around the corner to what was evidently a party or a date. Everything is always going on.

Rlly. (That's somehow quite vivid.)

Very sorry for your loss, but I'm glad you could be there to celebrate someone you hold dear.

I'm glad you were able to go. I remembered her to the pine tree she sent the postcard to.

I am glad the pine tree will remember her. Their memories are long.

This history has a lot of dents in it.

Sad postcard thoughts. She used to send me a poetry postcard for "Poem in Your Pocket Day"...but not this April and never again.

May all who mourn her also be comforted with the beautiful memories.

We can carry poems in April like rosemary for remembrance.
