Death's Honesty - spoken word performance by Quinoa Blessed

A poem I wrote nine years ago in which I complete the process of grieving my mother's death by reliving the whole grief process in 25 minutes in front of an audience and re-emerging whole at the end, ready to engage with life again.

The poem had fresh relevance for me as I grieved the loss of a loving and intimate relationship and again delved deep into the healing power of a real winter.

Recorded at an intimate gathering in my home in Melbourne 2017-08-02.

Written and first performed in Auckland 2008-05-20.
