Forgive the vainglory of showing
myself here in this brand new birthday helmet
(a month early), gift from Sarah who wearied
of watching me bombing hills bareheaded. My
face here is a reflection of a reflection—I
feel a little shattered after two weeks in
Minneapolis where I watched my mother die and
planted her ashes at the base of a tree in my
sister's backyard. So this here page is just a
way for me to check my head and say hello
again.
