Too Close Music Video

My last night with his body, I lit candles and told stories. If Clayton’s soul was hovering, if there was some way he could hear me, I wanted to remind him of who he was, before the cancer: an energetic, devoted, intelligent, hilarious and sexy ball of goof. His friend Jackie sent a list of his favorite karaoke songs, so I put them on and danced and sang the wildly inappropriate lyrics of “Too Close” at the foot of his bed. Then, when all the stories were told and the songs sung, I pulled back his lips and filled his mouth with morphine.
