Ravens (乌鸦) - Mount Eerie[00:00:00]

In October 2015[00:00:14]

I was out in the yard[00:00:19]

I just finished splitting up the scrap two by fours into kindling[00:00:23]

Glanced up at the half moon pink chill refinery cloud light[00:00:31]

Two big blackbirds flew over their wings whooshing and low[00:00:38]

Two ravens but only two[00:00:45]

Their black feathers tinted in the sunset[00:00:52]

I knew these birds were omens but of what I wasn't sure[00:01:07]

They were flying out toward the island where we hoped to move[00:01:16]

You were probably inside[00:01:23]

You were probably aching wanting not to die[00:01:27]

Your body transformed[00:01:30]

I couldn't bear to look so I turned my head west[00:01:34]

Like an early death[00:01:41]

Now I can only see you on the fridge in lifeless pictures[00:01:45]

And in every dream I have at night[00:01:53]

And in every room I walk into[00:01:57]

Like here where I sit the next October[00:02:00]

Still seeing your eyes[00:02:04]

Pleading and afraid full of love[00:02:08]

Calling out from another place because you're not here[00:02:16]

I watched you die in this room then[00:02:26]

I gave your clothes away[00:02:29]

I'm sorry I had to[00:02:35]

Now I'll move[00:02:41]

I will move with our daughter[00:02:52]

We will ride over water[00:02:56]

With your ghost[00:03:01]

Underneath the boat[00:03:04]

What was you is now but bones[00:03:07]

And I cannot be at home[00:03:11]

I'm running reef flailing[00:03:15]

The second time I went to Haida Gwaii it was[00:03:37]

Just me and our daughter[00:03:41]

Only one month after you died my face was still contorted[00:03:45]

Driving up and down boots wet inside aimless and weeping[00:03:53]

I needed to return to the place where we discovered that[00:04:00]

Childless we could blanket ourselves in the moss there[00:04:07]

For our long lives[00:04:18]

But when we came home you were pregnant[00:04:22]

And then our life together was not long[00:04:26]

You had cancer and you were killed[00:04:31]

And I'm left living like this[00:04:35]

Crying on the logging roads with your ashes in a jar[00:04:38]

Thinking about the things I'll tell you[00:04:44]

When you get back from wherever it is that you've gone[00:04:49]

But then I remember death is real[00:04:57]

And I'm still here in Masset[00:05:04]

It's August 12th 2016[00:05:07]

You've been dead for one month and three days[00:05:11]

And we are sleeping in the forest[00:05:16]

There is sand still in the blankets from the beach[00:05:20]

Where we released you from the jar[00:05:25]

When we wake up all the clothes that we left out are[00:05:30]

Cold and damp just from the air permeating[00:05:34]

The ground opens up[00:05:41]

Surrounded by growth[00:05:46]

Nurse logs with layers of moss and life[00:05:49]

Beyond the cedars the sound of water[00:05:54]

Thick salal[00:05:58]

And God like huckleberries[00:06:00]

The ground absorbs and remakes whatever falls[00:06:05]

Nothing dies here[00:06:12]

But here is where I came to grieve[00:06:15]

To dive into it with you[00:06:19]

With your absence[00:06:24]

But I keep picking you berries[00:06:26]
