shared with the night

i said "mom!

you lived right there!

an hour outside of portland in the 90's when it all was happening

when bikini kill and bratmobile were penning their manifesto's!!"

and she said she remembered those names

and over a salad and pizza we shared with the night

she told me she knew about those things but she didn't feel any pull to them.

she said she needed to feel the spirit and she knew she couldn't there

she said she knew that if she could feel God's love she would survive it.

(she survived it).
