  • I remember of these photos

    There’s a photo in one of my old albums, the day written on the back says “august, 21st, 1937”. In that one I still had rosey cheeks, the bluest of eyes - which are now green - , a little dress and a headband. I believe it was my baptism day. In my face, I know it’ll seem crazy, there is still the shadow  of those sweet plump features. They haven’t changed much since I made small objects with glue, scribbled on the sheets and the years I was I could still show by pulling up a single hand. They are just stretched and shriveled. That one is inside the oldest photo album, my first. The box it is ...A7fone door

    Dead Julie

    Everything was ready for the ritual. Pam had brought French bread for the offering; she said the yeast represented life. Julie-- dead Julie, not Julie M, who was very much alive-- dead Julie brought the stinking carcass of a roadkilled woodchuck. It was flattened in the middle where a tire had gotten it.

    Alyssia the Rose

    As I get wheeled out of the house, the smell of something fresh. Something I only dreamed of smelling, let alone seeing, was in perfect view outside of the house. Flowers. Dozens upon dozens of flowers. All different colors and smells hit me as soon as we get past the door frame. Green. Overwhelming shades of green. The color I had come to associate with the smell of crayons and the feel of markers is becoming real life. Tangible things I can taste, smell, and see. The wheels of the wheelchair get caught often, but the man wheeling me navigates around the big cracks in the pavement. I look up...A7fone door
