Esmé, you will not come with me into the new year. But earlier today I heard—clear as a bell—your bark. I was not asleep. Thank you for visiting me. I love you forever.

i'm homeless and need to drive 200 miles roundtrip to pick up an RX at the nearest Costco to me.
i don't have health insurance and the Costco membership pays for itself with the pharmacy costs. a generic of the same medication at Walgreens is $1 a pill. a 90-day supply at Costco is ~$20.

may all who grieve be comforted. may all who suffer transform it into creation and connection. may all things be protected and safe.
