THE URN
we couldn't have planned it.
first, we thought tidewater...
plant a tree...but, dad let go of tidewater a long time ago .. .
he wanted us to do the same. .... in the moment of that thought , i
did let go of tidewater...thankyou dad...
then the river or the ocean...
the four of us went to our meeting with the lawyer and demetra and
spent the night together at dad's place on the river. .. just the four
of us. . . ..
in the morning we woke up, had breakfast in yachats
and then decided to park at neptune and walk toward the cave...
we walked past the cave...taking turns carrying the heavy paper bag
wrapped with bungy cord...
"remember the vagina?"...
it is a blow hole (really) we all know...in a special spot past the cave...
perfect...
we arrived ..... sat for a moment. ..... and began.. ... eldest to
youngest.... back to the mamma daddy o . . . we smashed the
urn which left green shinny highlights around the opening. . .........
back to the mamma daddy o . ....
