The unbearable lightness of sorrow

In IM, that most artificial
yet critical of pathways towards
sharing information
I received a pop-up and link from krisleathers that my
home away from home
culinarily speaking
is on fire
and thank the gods there is not one hurt as the staff are
longtime friends and one
in particular, Richard, who is Lebanese, and really
um
likes me
though he is married
and faithful bless him but the flirtation is merciless
anyway I digress because they are all allright
but I found myself crying small prickly tears
and oddly I had had a fleeting thought of having
supper there on Sunday
to commemorate my 7-monthiversary
which some might find ironic
but it is nice to me to know that
I will never have to wonder how I got
home
from
Original Joes's. not ever again. and then this
lead wall sort of obscured my feelings
and I wanted to cry, because I so rarely do
these days
when I say "I cry" it is usually a crippled abortive thing.
which is frustrating like a sneeze gone back or
premature
withdrawal. emotional<b> blue balls </font></b>I do not need.
so I cheat.
there are a few things that can make me cry.
and I pull out a big gun.
Grieg can always get me, and Ase’s Lament is a good one.
SO I find a really heart hemorrhaging version on YouTube, which is great.
I have some really tight associations with this piece from my work understudying a play called “The People’s Temple” which was about the stories of the Jonestown massacre.
I also have a really pretty awesome memory of listening to it in the dim gloaming of an Oslo evening with a nice glass of red wine (back when I still imbibed such things) and listening to a gorgeously stormy rendition with an Actual Norwegian hosting the whole thing.
And still it makes me cry.
I am fairly sure that I am not crying about the fire in my fave restaurant per se
And even as the hopefully cathartic tears start to come
Things get freaky around me

The roomie is feigning some huge breakdown

Even as between slams and screams she fields phone calls.

Please let this day roll by!
