It was 24th of December, the first day before Christmas,
or Christmas itself, depends on the place where you live in. Somebody called
my grandmother and told her that she died - my great aunt died in a hospital the same
day. I've never asked how or why she was there. Well we were having lunch with my
family while my grandma received the call. My mum felt into tears, and my grandfather who's
sister passed away - he was stoned. I felt alienated - like I haven't had anything to be sad
about, even about the pain that the others felt. My sister told me I'm cruel and I'm the only
one who doesn't feel anything, after I asked her if she feels alienated as well.
Today is 26th of December and my great-aunt is under the
ground. The funeral was right at 12 o'clock. I don't wanted to go. Firstly I wanted to be there, to
see all the pain, to feel and eat it. Then I thought it would be too cruel. I stayed at home with my
sister. She - my sister, right from the beginning refused to visit the funeral. Me on the other hand, I was
thinking, and still do, about the coffin, about it's shape. Was it traditional as I call it
"Carpathian" model, because the first time i felt in love into a coffin was years ago, while I was watching Van Helsing,
so there I saw the coffins while the blond haired mortician was pretending he was dead in one of them. So
yeah, my twisted mind made me think about coffins. And now while I'm writing I find the possibility of her
laying in an expensive coffin negative. She was a peasant woman. Living at one room all alone with her
cats. Too old. As i know her life was not the best she lost husband and children when she was young. So her
life was in pain. Maria - her name, she was buried without pain. Sounds good...well, she passed away
in a hospital. Don't know if it's because of disease, but even if it was, she was old - 87, as I heard
this morning. My mind leads me to the thought that she don't wanted to live any longer, and to
die at exactly this time. Perhaps her thoughts were "Another Christmas and I'll be alone, but this
Christmas I'll be alone in a hospital lying not on my bed, not in my house, being here in agony. It's time to
join my beloved once, that I lost long time ago".
And her spirit flew away, my imagination builds the
picture of her and what relief she felt at this very moment when her spirit left the body. This weak,
sorrowful body.
My mum and dad came back home from the funeral. Maria is
buried in the cold winter ground. The corpse was born at the 1st day of September, 87 years ago, in year
1925.
66 years after on the very same day I have been born. And
I'm wearing the name of Magdalena.
Sounds funny she was Maria/Marry and me
Magdalena/Magdalene. 66 years teared Marry Magdalene apart.
Bible symbols...some another shit...
She died.
