the ancient near eastern word for funerary rites--kispum--was taken from the word for breaking bread--kāsapu. nearly every recorded burial site includes a body, yes, but also a bowl, a pot, a water-cup. necromancy and death cults did not offer rituals unless they came also with a kind of recipe, a reminder to eat afterwards. i am trying to tell you that death and loss and re/dis-membering were a threshold with one very clear suture: appetite. i am trying to let you know that i see your grief, and you need a meal

[ID: An assortment of quotes, lyrics, and photos from various sources.
1. Truth of it is: I was born / With an empty center. // When I find myself there, / It’s often despair. / But now and then it’s Zen.
2. The first law of holes, or the law of holes, is an adage which states: "if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging." Digging a hole makes it deeper and therefore harder to get out of, which is is used as a metaphor, that when in an untenable position, it is best to stop making the situation worse. More generally, it advises how one should solve problems of their own making.
3. A color photo of a pond that is mostly covered with a pale green algae. In the center, the algae has been cleared out in a circle, and the dark water looks like a hole or pit. Surrounding the pond is lush vegetation and trees.
4. // at what age did you begin to suspect you were alive // all things birth / their own opposites / the hole grew / & grew & there / i was / filling it / & therefore the hole / & therefore me / &therefore & / so on
5. Because there is something and there is nothing / There is nothing in-between
6. "and your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing. Isn't that fearful? Isn't it fearful that you are living in this filth which you loathe so, and at the same time you know yourself (you've only to open your eyes) that you are not helping any one by it, not saving any one from anything! Tell me," he went on almost in a frenzy, "how this shame and degradation can exist in you side by side with other, opposite, holy feelings? It would be better, a thousand times better and wiser to leap into the water and end it all!"
7. here. I can love and love his arms helping mine make something other than dirt and watch that love bleed straight into the space between us and then of course. It falls. Into a tunnel and gone.
8. The floor seemed wonderfully solid. It was comforting to know I had fallen and could fall no further.
9. the grave, getting out of the hole eventually; sometimes falling into a hole and languishing there for days, weeks, months, years, because while not the grave very difficult, still, to climb out of and you know after this hole there’s just another and another; sometimes surveying the landscape of holes and wishing for a high quality final hole; sometimes thinking of who has fallen into holes which are not graves but might be better if they were; sometimes too ardently
10. Have you ever gotten everything you ever wanted? / No. But once I got very close. / What happened? / I don’t know. Everything disappears. Even dreams. I suppose I just flew too close to the sun.
11. The second law of holes is commonly known as: "when you stop digging, you are still in a hole."
12. I am! I’m a pit. I’m a pit that good things fall into! End ID.]
