Ode to Ritual Crying
January 27, 2015
"Ode to Ritual Crying" by Gabriela Mancuso is a very ritual piece. It's a short poem, yet the meaning is so strong. She compares her ritual crying on sunday afternoon to her prom date, "touchy feely but not really". I feel that it's very moving.
I can connect to how she feels because it sometimes feels like a routine to be sad, or to cry. It is well known that people go to church on Sundays, and I feel that a reference can be made that her "ritual crying" occurs on Sunday afternoons. It's very free flowing, and she portrays her feelings well.
