How do you say – kill him, kill him, please – kill him not for the hundreds of lives he’s taken – kill him for you, kill him for me – because he took me away from you – isn’t that enough? – how can you say this is love?
He cannot say the words because he is a son, a brother first. He is a bat. He cannot say – I love you I am obsessed with you I want you to love me as terribly as I love you I want you to bleed for the magnitude of my love I love you.
If his love is a terrible thing, then his grief is incapacitating.
How do you say – I think when you held me last, your rib fused with mine and my marrow now creates your blood, my heart beats in tandem with yours – bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh, brother. How do you say – when the world took you from me so suddenly the crack of my bone is deafening. How do you say – I’m missing a rib – how do you say this to a man buried six feet under?
