In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.
Suicide Heart Years
It was not enough to be the last guy she kissed. i wanted to be the last one she loved. and i knew i wasn’t. i knew it, and i hated her for it. i hated her for not caring about me. i hated her for leaving that night, and i hated myself , too, not only because i let her go but because if i had been enough for her, she wouldn’t have even wanted to leave. she would have just lain with me and talked and cried, and i would have listened and kissed at her tears as they pooled in her eyes.

She didn’t understand why it was happening,” he said. “i had to tell her she would die. her social worker said i had to tell her. i had to tell her she would die, so i told her she was going to heaven. she asked if i would be there, and i said that i would not, not yet. but eventually, she said, and i promised that yes, of course, very soon. and i told her that in the meantime we had great family up there that would take care of her. and she asked me when i would be there, and i told her soon. twenty-two years ago.

When i was a kid, phone calls were a premium commodity; only the very coolest kids had a phone line of their own, and long-distance phone calls were made after eleven, when the rates went down, unless you were flamboyant with your spending. then phone calls became as cheap as dirt and as constant as rain, and i was on the phone all the time.
