Love Song to Eric - RIP

Selfportrait – first in series, in memory of Eric.
I still remember Tennessee, and i still love you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGEMx3TKxNc&feature=related, Sufjan Stevens -

“Goldenrod and the 4-H stone
The things I brought you
When I found out you had cancer of the bone

Your father cried on the telephone
And he drove his car to the Navy yard
Just to prove that he was sorry

In the morning through the window shade
When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade
I could see what you were reading

Oh the glory that the lord has made
And the complications you could do without
When I kissed you on the mouth

Tuesday night at the bible study
We lift our hands and pray over your body
But nothing ever happens

I remember at Michael’s house
In the living room when you kissed my neck
And I almost touched your blouse …”

    Very evocative, Selkie – both the writing and the image. I feel the pain…and the aching sense of loss.

  • Selkie replied

    The writing isn’t mine, it’s a song by Sufjan Stevens, but it’s like it was written for Eric and me. Thank you, KN.
