Interesting observation! That our homes are fashioned after gravesites. I want to be buried under a tree, or in one of those pods that grow into trees. An oak. A mighty oak. with chanterelles, acorns, squirrels, birds, caterpillars, teeming with life.
I think poetry comes closest to being able to express in the ineffable.
Your description of arguing with your man reminded me of this poem I wrote a few months before mine left his earthly form
Today I removed the butter he had,
once again,
placed in the dish and left there on the counter
and I,
once again,
wrapped it and put it back in the fridge.
.
Then I carefully,
almost reverently,
took it out of the fridge,
unwrapped it,
and,
for the first time ever,
put it back
on the counter
in its dish.
