dark sad fast-paced

"As a political position, I hold on to grief. The objects in my shrine represent this. I don't see it so much as holding on to my dead parents, but rather as holding on to an awareness of spatial distance."

I felt it was a bit too explanatory at times & I feel like essay as a form attempts to do something that grief as a concept cannot abide by. It was most effective when it attempted to steer away from the philosophizing & telling and instead into the experience of grief itself.
