We Look Tough

That’s how my sister described us in this photo. It was taken in summer 1996, when I was 18 and Blue was 19:

Here’s a poem of Blue’s from that era:

today i woke up like a slam in the face
not adjusted yet to the dream i had just had
i was on the wrong side of the road
heading straight for a big white van
we collide and slam! i’m awake
about to hit what’s heading towards me full on
but now ive decided
i will choose what slams into me
i know where i’m headed
my dreams
direct me.

Eleven years later, she’s at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. More importantly, she’ll be in San Francisco next week visiting me. Yay!
