Previous: She had grown up a non-practicing Jew in a small New England town full of Christians. Once or twice she had been asked by her teachers to explain Hanukkah, and a few times she had been called Jewgirl by some creepy boy, but among all the graffiti on desks in her years at school, she had never seen a swastika. Now here one was, right in her bathroom, spiked and symmetrical, written on her find like “Mary + Kenny” or “Fuck Physics” or “True Love Always.”
Next: The skin I regrew/after each of our trysts is now my armor.

I acknowledge that I live in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq nation. This territory is covered by a series of treaties of peace and friendship which recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) title and established rules for an ongoing relationship between nations. We are all treaty people. As a guest on this land, I affirm that I have a duty to be mindful of my environmental impact and to reflect on and hold colonial systems accountable.
