Lovers in the night. I can’t tell who is happier.
The wallpaper was different back then and the stall doors swung at half mast, so that one could chat to strangers while urinating. I remember the nights in here stealing kisses in stark light or pressing forehead to wall as wine filed away inhibition. I was so young. Not yet settled into all the ways and words that became and become me….fumbling, tumbling with too much speech and too much resistance. Outside, on the smoke stinking velvet couch I had meetings about scripts and met faces I’d only seen on film. Upstairs, were parties after premieres with a heart attack and Britney Spears in one room…one night….. but here, this place…..This two stall saloon rubbing walls with the kitchen was oh so safe, I could have spent the night in here in the quiet of #possibility #twenties #night #trouble #losangeles

Happy Pride Day from @banksy #toronto #pride
I’ll follow you.
Sand in wet waistbands, welts unexpected. Mosquitoes and flies oh my. Dipping and bombing. Superhero’s compete in pools reflecting the sky. On palm trees we pee. The last drop dribbling over scraped knee. Licking Ice cream, scuffing bare feet, no place to be. No imagined world we can’t see. Lost and found and time unbound. And enough is enough. Shut up and sleep in the afternoon heat, cuz it’s summer. #summer
A dollop of water wavers for the longest time on my eyebrow before dashing with a sudden purpose down my cheekbone, skipping the messy business of lips and slipping instead from jowl to collarbone, finally impacting with its multitude of brothers and sisters in the ocean. Returned. To where or what do you return?

ten years ago, like yesterday #loss
Happy Easter, happy Passover from us to you wherever you are in the world. Sending epic love to all, especially to the people of Sri Lanka #easter #passover #srilanka
These words are from Audre Lorde’s essay, ‘Apartheid U.S.A.’ It was written in 1985, but could be a rallying cry for today.
Reading is a beckoning, a summons, tearing at calcified beliefs. Audre Lorde, Hilton Als, Maya Angelou, Margo Jefferson, James Baldwin, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Claudia Rankine and so many more have stalked their solitude and their streets that we may question our own unseeing. In this time of vital consciousness raising, I turn again to them. Pulling old books and new and asking what more they have to say, what more I should know, should do. What books, essays, poems, music and films have influenced you, pushed at you and spoken painful truths? Speaking, as Audre Lorde said to the part of each of us that “refuses to be silent.” Please share them..whatever hits you, ignites you. “We are caught in an inescapable web of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all directly.” -MLK
Where we put our feet counts. Where we put our minds, our bodies, our hearts count. The businesses we invest in matter. What we bear silent witness to matters. Watching harmless prejudice, shrugging it off with a laugh or a turning away counts. Continued, sustained change, unraveling prejudice, holding ourselves accountable… moment by moment by moment by moment.
