Sometimes we walk past HDB flats and see a mass funeral service undergoing at the void deck. And sometimes, you wear black to Bukit Brown cemetery in memorial of your loved ones.
Sometimes you wonder how it feels to be buried, shut away from the outside world with occasionally with a few stalks of flowers on your doorstep. Qingming Festival becomes your new birthday and christmas combined all into one, because who would visit you on December 25th?
Loamy soil, your new home. The smell of must, your latest perfume. Dead silence, your mp3 radio. Rain, the window to your eyes. Hello, your new goodbye. Darkness, the creator of all light.
And one day not too far, that will be us.
