PART THREE – OUT

IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE

WORD

If it were a film, the camera would hold for a long moment on the hush of the scene, moving from mourner to mourner against a backdrop of some gentle instrumental piece. No. Nothing instrumental, nothing that would make a person want to sway. Something darker, with the hoarse sorrowful tones of love lived and lost. A woman, an American, someone with sky and scale in their voice. The kind that could never come from a small, wet island that rarely saw the two ends of the sky at the same time.

There would be a montage of grief. Picture the sort of thing. Inviting unity. Pseudo-art on the universal nature of sorrow. Hands clasping. Tissues and phone numbers moving from one pocket to the next. Fingers digging warm on shoulders.

In real life, there are no montages. The isolation that comes from knowing little or nothing doesn’t play well on-screen.

In real life, the hush of the scene is real, the machinery quiet, the only movement coming from the fingers of the crowd. Type, click, read, react. Refresh.
