The smoke moth roves to the highest floor of the high-rise where a daughter chants.

 

On the moment of #5’s death they chant for 100 days.  The chant is not for the dead, but for the

whole family.  Amah fell into a coma on the 90th day.  The family was informed that recovery

was impossible.  The most Buddhist decision was to cancel life

 

                                                Support           relinquish attachment
                        pull the plug

 

They called all the relatives, put the phone to her ear.  They told Amah

 

“namo amitofo,” go to pure land

 

All of them except for StraightandEducated. 
When they called him the bastard said “I’m coming to see
you -wait for me”

 

Which was a form of bad magic
And tethered her.  Although to the Buddhists this is considered cruel, I could not lie.

 

When they pulled the plug, they found out life support
was not the thing,

 

(on the 100th Day Amah opened her eyes)

 

keeping her alive.

(talk about chakra healing)
