farewell

they said he left 'peacefully'. i wasnt there to see all the crying and wailing. i just saw bloodshot eyes, exhausted faces, dazed looks. and then i saw the body placed in the middle of the seemingly empty living room, fully concealed except for the feet. apparently it was some sort of custom that im not familiar with. i had wanted to see his face for perhaps the last time. i remember holding his emaciated hand just last sunday, and there was this..strange look in his sunken eyes. maybe it was his way of saying goodbye.

goodbye grandpa.
