A dream rushing forward full of shine, faux fur, and dancing.
“And she touched my back, and said: Where are your wings?
I could feel them right then. It was the way she touched me. Like she was drawing my wings on.”

Today is World AIDS Day whether this fascist regime acknowledges it or not. My sweet brother. He was 16 years older than me and from my dad’s first marriage. But he was my big brother and I was his baby sister. We both loved Madonna. We both loved each other. He was a special person. Dearest Bob.

Re-reading to teach in the grad class tomorrow night. Love the juxtapositions of art and social critique in these powerful and well-crafted essays. And the use of opera to reveal Detroit in “D is for the Dance of the Hours.”

I completely checked out of reality today. I explored a pumpkin patch and corn maze. And yes, I did re-enact scenes from Children of the Corn while in the corn maze. Bought a pumpkin. Played glow in the dark Halloween deco mini-golf. Went on a silly Bigfoot tour. And watched Halloween 4.

I read The Reckonings a few years ago. But so much has happened in the world and in my life since then. I’m rereading this powerful collection that looks at mercy, at justice, at how all violence (eco violence, state violence, individual and mass violence) is all connected.

My sister directed the film, The Subject. It won lots of awards at indie film fests. She was amazing and brilliant. A shining star. She taught me how to read. She always encouraged me to be myself. To be who I am. A force of love. My big sister. The best sister.
