I loved reading this. The questions about death wax and wane. Just recently, it’s become “here’s what I think happens when we die” and that’s always interesting because it stretches my comfort zone.
Glad you guys have slipped under Covid. Hope that trend continues!
I feel like I’ve been surrounded by death these past few years. Coming and going to work and checking “the list” every morning became routine. Death is most certainly the most reliable, routine, certain thing that happens yet it’s clouded with so much mystery.
Haven! Thank you so much for your beautiful reply. It’s definitely been a morbid few years, especially for those in medicine. Hope you’re getting good support. What does B think happens when we die?
Also I have what feels like a recent memory of changing his diaper on our kitchen floor! How does he now have theories about what happens after we die 😂
Beautifully expressed, as ever. (And: I love the photo of the poem, but also there's a Poetry block in Substack, which will preserve the formatting of poems! I think it's rather new)

Oh thank you! I was wondering if there was something like that I was missing but didn’t want to waste my childcare time trying to figure it out ☺️
