Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Thrive to spite them

I've wanted to write a poem about ita, for her. And I finally have a rough draft I posted in Great Write WAy that they asked I share here.

I know ita had changed her user name but I still thought of her as !ita or in my head "interbangita!" so when you see !ita it's "interbang ita"

So here it is... I hope no one thinks I've made a mischaracteriszation it needs some polish but this is, I guess ita seen through my lens.

!ita
ita bang
ita moon

A force
gravity's pull
we are her satellites

ita bang
ita moon
!ita
a punch
a kick
sharp mind
cross swords - defend - prove your point
no strawmen here

ita moon
!ita
ita bang
electromagnetic field across the world
we find -each day- where she touched
who she touched
influence in surprising places
scope beyond realization

cornerstone
friend
touchstone
pink gingham

connoisseur of fine men
Ting and curry

She was
she is
she will be

Our wings are not tired.

Oh, askye, it hurts in a beautiful way. Thank you so much.

I've been looking back on my journeys through grief and know that it will get, I won't say easier, but different. One day when we read of Allyson being a warrior, or one of the Buffista sprog kicking ass in martial arts, or pass a stranger dressed in pink gingham, that day will be different than today. Instead of a lump in the throat, or tears, we will smile and treasure the memory in a different way. And we'll be grateful for the joyful reminder.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Oh merciful heavens, that's lovely. It's making me weep, but it is lovely.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

That is gorgeous, askye.

Lovely, askye!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Absolutely beautiful, askye.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I meant to say earlier how lovely this is, askye. I love the conceit that even though she's a moon, we revolve around her.

Thank you so you much. Hearing your thoughts it makes me feel like I've done her justice.
