i wear my skin only as thin as i have to, armor myself only as much as seems absolutely necessary. i try to live naked in the world, unashamed even under attack, unafraid even though i know how much there is to fear..."tell myself that life is the long struggle to understand love fully. that to keep faith with those who have literally saved my life and made it possible fer me to imagine more than survival, i have to try constantly to understand more, love more fully, go more naked in order to make others as safe as i myself want to be. i want to live past my own death, as my mother does, in what i have made possible for others-my sisters, my son, my lover, my community --the people i believe in absolutely, men and women [and others] whom death does not stop, who honor the truth of each other stories.
