How to bear the unbearable

Find out something that burns you like acid.

Rage and cry and wrestle with understanding.

Receive no clarity.

Go to the beach and cry out to the stars.

Call Josie.

Drink wine and take a hot bath.

Cry out to the night.

Fetch the Leopard so you are not the only mammal in the bed.

Sleep for three hours.

Wake up and wrestle with understanding.  Be tortured by the thoughts.

Call Jen.

Look ugly.  Be awkward.  Lack grace.

Rage and cry and struggle.

In this unlovely way, somehow, the sun will eventually rise.
