27 Feb MARTIN, L., By Corey Martin
MARTIN, L.—Died publicly on March 9, 2021, in the same way a caterpillar must die to become a moth.
MARTIN, L.—Died quietly on July 16, 2020. All of her organs began to dissolve, with only the important ones remaining. For instance, the letter P. She will be buried gradually, in a hard shell encased in silk, and grieved by the version of her charged with spinning her grave.
MARTIN, L.—Died legally on June 8, 2021. She is survived by older self Corey. Former daughter of James and Pamela. Complete stranger to her father’s ghost. Reincarnated as an eighteen-year-old newborn baby with a brand-new birth certificate. She will be fondly remembered by her report cards, Webkinz account, open cocoon, childhood awards, uncorrected mail and particularly forgetful family members. She won’t be missed by any of her friends. Visitation will not take place, as the body refuses to be seen under a name that is dead. The funeral service will be held daily. Joy to follow.
