ach eleventh of the srxth I lrke to do a few thrngs I have never done
before. This year rt was mostly rust trampolining wrth a tattoo
beIOre breakfast and pickrng purple poppres from the roadSide in Suffolk. Then I took my son to a graveyard. We scarnpered around the fresh-cut meadow cemetery takrng our sandals off because of too many bits of English strawy grass in them. I was lookrng to see If anyone had dred on any eleventh of the srxths to coincrde with my birthday day which is this Wednesday here. I noticed a lot of folk dred early rn the year and two folk died on the first of January nineteen thirty nine. Like they made rt long enough. held on and then collapsed through the finishing ribbon.
As we were walking around randomly over graves and Felix (two point erghtl was clrmbing up onto entry level sarcophagr. I was sittrng on an ensepulchred corpses tomb and I spat a brt of loose straw off my hp.
80 now we have walked over entombments. crept on crypts. vaulted
vaults and I have spat on a grave.
At first I felt a bit odd and passably sacrilegrous. then I notrced Felrx was still not yet three and incapable Surely of blasphemy. Then I notrced that the graveyard grass er feet above had been cut all about by a tractor and I can't imagine the driver going to hell or berng burned alrve for rt. ‘Gardener wanted: must be fire retardant'.
Then I worked but yOu can never define the amount of mensture comrng out of a mouth rn a breath to define spitting. Spitting is an Intended act of dis-something and I felt nothrng save love for the remains about us.
May well have a birthday party for the b0y in a graveyard. The krds love it: all that heavy masonry to hrde behind and the hushed. unbuSy tone. Bunting in tombs. balloons everywhere . .
