As many of you know already, Theresa Duncan, author, filmmaker and bon vivant frequently qouted here in (incli)NATION was found dead in her NYC apartment by her longtime boyfriend Jeremy Blake, July 10th of this year. A detailed suicide note was left behind. Sadly, Jeremy took his own life a week later. While there is much speculation surrounding this tragedy, we at (incli)NATION would simply like to wish them both well, wherever they are.

(read at Theresa’s graveside at the close of
her funeral)

A shadow crossed the blue Miami sky
As we hit the causeway by the big hotel
We fought
Now I can’t remember why
After all the words were said and tears were gone
We vowed we’d never say goodbye

When we kissed we could hear the sound of thunder
As we watched the regulars rush the big hotels
We kissed again as the showers swept the Florida shore
You opened your umbrella
But we walked between the raindrops back to your door

In my dreams I can hear the sound of thunder
I can see the causeway by the big hotels
That happy day we’ll find each other on that Florida shore
You’ll open your umbrella
And we’ll walk between the raindrops back to your door…
