Call us at(919) 968-2011 • Deliver Application to:501 West Franklin Street, Chapel Hill, NC Compass Center for Women and Families �- Summary Statement for Proposed Uses of Arts Program Grant: Compass Center for Women and Families will offer a series of writing workshops/groups facilitated by survivors of intimate partner violence for survivors of intimate partner violence. Writing is a powerful tool for not only working toward personal healing, but also for breaking the silence around abuse that is so often hidden behind closed doors. These workshops/groups would be open to any survivor in the community who is interested in exploring their experiences through a variety of writing forms including poetry,journaling, mixed media,fiction and non-fiction.The survivors interested in leading these workshops are experienced writers who wish to share what they have learned with other survivors.At the end of the series participants would have the opportunity to share their written and any complimentary visual work through a publication with the choice to use their name or submit their work anonymously.This publication would be shared with the public at no charge through our various media outlets. These funds would be used to support the program in purchasing art and writing supplies for the workshops; helping participants pay for the cost of traveling to the workshops, in order to be accessible to all survivors in the county; publicizing the workshops and participant work in the community;and publishing a collection of survivor work that can be shared with the general public in an effort to break the silence around intimate partner violence and prevent future abuse. Compass Center for Women and Families Arts Program Application Narrative Organizational_Profile: Compass Center for Women and Families,created from the merger on July 1, 2012,of Family Violence Prevention Center of Orange County(founded in 2000) and The Women's Center(founded in 1979), helps individuals and families prevent and end domestic violence and become self-sufficient. We provide domestic violence crisis services,career and financial education, assistance with legal resources, and adolescent empowerment programs. Current Programs and Services: Compass Center for Women and Families offers services to adults and children who are experiencing emotional, physical,verbal,economic, or sexual abuse in their personal relationships. We also work with individuals who need support with a transition in their lives. We work with people on an individual basis to determine their options. Domestic violence crisis services are free and available in English and Spanish. Many of our financial,career, legal,and adolescent programs are free, and those with fees are available on a sliding scale basis. No one is turned away due to the inability to pay. All services are confidential,and are provided to all regardless of race, class, religion, ethnic group,sexual orientation or gender identity. Our programs include: • Domestic Violence Crisis Counseling • Support Groups • Safety Planning • Financial Literacy Education • Career Exploration and Preparedness • Legal Information • Adolescent Empowerment Programs • Connections to Community Resources Compass Center for Women and Families' services and programs are funded in part by the United Way of the Greater Triangle,the Towns of Chapel Hill,Carrboro, Hillsborough, and Orange County. Funding also comes from the state of North Carolina. Compass Center depends on individual contributions, program fees, and special events such as Through Women's Eyes, by Women's Hands. For now,Compass Center continues to operate out of two locations. Domestic Violence services take place out of our office at 207 Wilson Street. Self-Sufficiency Services including Career, Legal, and Financial Programs are available through our office at 210 Henderson Street. Our Adolescent Programs are also coordinated through our office on Henderson Street. r Compass Center for Women and Families Proposed Uses of Grant Funds: Compass Center proposes using these funds for either a 5-week or 8-week series of workshop/groups in the fall of 2014.The exact dates will be determined by facilitator and group participant availability.The workshops would be held at Compass Center's Wilson St. location in downtown Chapel Hill, NC. The facilitators of this group are two Compass Center clients,both accomplished writers,who wish to share what they have learned with other survivors. Facilitators: • Pam Baggett is the author/photographer of the garden book iTropicalismo!(Timber Press). Her articles appear in Horticulture, Fine Gardening, and The American Gardener. Poems appear or are forthcoming in The Atlanta Review, Crab Orchard Review, The Sow's Ear,the Barefoot Muse Press anthology Forgetting Home:Poems About Alzheimers,and The Southern Poetry Anthology, Volume VII:North Carolina. Pam has taught writing workshops at Duke University's Continuing Studies Program (now the Osher Lifelong Learning Program),the Ackland Art Museum at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill,and at numerous public gardens,including Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA and the 1C Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh, NC. • Leanne Simon is a writer, activist, educator, and domestic violence survivor. She has published numerous articles and essays in both online and print media. Recently, she received a Certificate in Documentary Arts from Duke University with her capstone project being a book-length memoir titled Just Looking Around. In addition to her writing, she uses documentary photo and video to uplift communities and engage viewers in social justice issues. Some of her work can be viewed online at leannesimon.com. Program Director: • Connie Carringer is an advocate,facilitator, teacher, and musician. She has been the Support Group Coordinator at Compass Center for Women and Families since 2012.Connie has worked in the field of domestic violence for over 5 years. She earned her Master's in Counseling and a Post-Master's Certificate in Expressive Arts Therapy from Appalachian State University in 2010. She has been using creative arts, including writing, in the service of healing throughout her own life and professional career. Organizational Capacity and Feasibility of Program: This series is similar to the Art of Healing workshops Compass Center has been offering since the fall of 2012. In that group, clients participate in a variety of art activities including writing, painting,collage, sculpture, and mixed-media.There is a disk included in this application with sample work created in these workshops. It is important to note that the goal of these workshops is in using the creative process in the service of healing as opposed to producing finished pieces of art. The series has seen a diverse group of women attend. Of the 31 women who have attended one or more of the workshops, below is the breakdown of race, age and home city for the Art of Healing Workshops: Compass Center for Women and Families Race/Ethnicity Age Location Latino:3.23% 65-74: 6.46% Graham: 3.23% Unknown:6.46% 55-64: 3.23% Efland:3.23% African-American/Black: 16.15% 45-54: 12.92% Mebane: 3.23% Caucasian/White:73.28% 35-44: 25.84% Durham: 6.46% 25-35: 35.53% Carrboro: 12.92% � Unknown: 16.15% Chapel Hill: 38.76% _ ' - Unknown:32.3/0 a r Our budget includes travel expenses for clients because we want to better serve our low-income clients from Hillsborough and Northern Orange county in our support group program.Through the Art of Healing Workshops,we have seen the power of the arts,including writing, in helping women heal from abuse.The proposed survivor-led workshops will provide our clients an opportunity to go deeper into their writing process in a safe,confidential, and understanding environment. As an appreciation of the facilitators'time and experiences,our budget also includes an artist stipend. Artists'Testimonials: "I cannot imagine being able to process my exit from a long abusive marriage without the hours and hours of journal-writing I have done. A journal is a friend available at any hour to listen,a mirror to reflect my thoughts without judgment, a record for when uncertainty strikes.Through emotional violence, my husband denied my right to express my thoughts,feelings, and needs. Putting pen to paper has made it possible to hear my good clear thinking again,to find the voice that got buried for awhile. The more I write,the easier it becomes to speak up in person, in the moment,to define and protect my boundaries as I connect with other people and re-enter the world."—Pam Baggett "For me,writing is the purest form of catharsis. Putting words to a page transforms my experiences into stories and allows me to release them from myself. I use writing to say the things my mouth cannot-to give voice to my deepest fears, hopes,and joys. It allows me to look back later on where I was and see how far 1 have come, and gives perspective on where I am headed next.Writing is not simply the creating of art, it is the evolution of self."—A.

When geese honked across a clear October sky, she saw the slide of fatted birds across his carving board. Those years flew faster than a flock of sixty geese. Her egg timer hasn't dropped a grain of sand in the two years since he died. Yet she can't remember how to make her famous airy cakes. Asked the recipe for butter frosting she shakes her head, muttering about stars. She's forgotten everything except the moon, which she peels and peels, hoping he will grow hungry and come home.

But it's dark out. Tree frogs are piping music from oak to hickory, and joy is rising in me as I spoon ice cream from the open carton. Joy was with me earlier, too, when I stepped outside to smell the sweet mimosa and earlier still when I broke bits of leftover hamburger into my dying dog's dish. Joy in the photo of a pale mauve clematis pinned to my wall, in bare feet and the cool dampness of a humid July night. Joy in this rare coolness so unlike the hellish steambath I could be stewing in tomorrow. In open windows and moths that slip through holes in screens to suicide against the incandescent joy of light bulbs. Joy abundant as the cracks in farmhouse walls and ants across the counters, even joy—almost- in mice that steal across them, but no, that would be asking too much. But joy, yes, in mice outdoors, and yes, in tree frogs singing and yes stars shining and yes the sweet mimosa, yes.

Snatches an extra jacket from the porch's hook, the woolen lining iced with cold. Yesterday's rake leans on a pile of leaves that Amanda races past, anxious to escape her family's view. She works the gate latch until it opens, snags her sleeve and hears it rip but she runs on, hefty in her layers, which are getting too warm. In the orchard, the last shriveled apples. Amanda stuffs her pockets full. She wishes for summer, raspberries, her sister's hands braiding her hair: wild thoughts meant to still her shaking. She opens her mouth to sing but words won't come, counts backward silently from one hundred instead as she hurries to help the Negro hiding in the woods. She has promised, could do no less after finding him starved and shivering a day ago. She leans against a Winesap to catch her breath, adjusts her father's worn boots clutched under her coat, the sack of bread-heels stolen from the pie safe. She coughs into her elbow, sniffs the air, smells apples and a hint of snow. "Rehrersburg, Pennsylvania, 1857" appeared in Crab Orchard Review, vol. 17, No. 2 (Summer/Fall 2012).

Save it for the first night you lie down to face an empty side of the bed, for the afternoon your best friend tells you her chemo isn't working anymore. For the day your mother, so polite, asks who you are. Store it in the one cookbook you'll never toss into the donation box. Slip it beneath your mattress, or into the closet that holds the emergency flashlights, canned food, and bottled water. Tape it to the bottom of your television, some place you can remember when your throat constricts, your hands cannot stop shaking. Unfold the paper then, beloved stranger, and know that I, too, have stared out the window trembling, have reached for the phone with no one left to call. I have paced countless hours, silently begging for the cure that never came. And when each crisis passed, I looked out at the world and saw that I loved you— for your fear and self-absorption, your cramped chest, bloodshot eyes, loved you for the crumpled tissue clutched in your hand, the one you can't make yourself let go. I am out here, I am standing at the window, too, while the night hums around us, alive with pain, with prayers and lullabies.

Even little you craved the sweat and car-grease smells coming off your daddy's worn green Dickies, ripped from back-crawling into boxy caves beneath Chevies or up under the house to fix pipes while your mama fretted about mud-stained floors and no water pressure. Loved scabbed up filthy knuckles scraping your baby-soft fingers, loved getting dirty enough to rate the soiled Lava next to Mama's pristine Dove. You were a girl who knew what to do with a father. Six years old, you climbed that rickety ladder to the roof, begged to help pry up loose shingles, to knock in nails that locked new ones in place. At seven you asked for a tool belt for your Chatty Cathy doll. Stood with his tipsy friends at Dingler's gas station, hands in pockets, wet the greasy pavement with your spit. Knee-schooched next to him along the garden's hot sand rows, drowning cabbage loopers in Campbell's soup cans of unlit gasoline. Saturdays you slouched against him while he watched Elvis, John Wayne, Audie Murphy. You loved that singing cowboy because your daddy did. Cried when Elvis limped into the desert to die, because even young you couldn't stand to see a man look so defeated.

His arm is around me, fingers digging in to nay side,pulling me close even as I tilt my body i away. His other hand is over my wrist, the one that holds our newborn's head steady for the photo. My expression is frozen. I am hollow-eyed and gaunt. My face is angled away,the tendons in my neck taut, but my eyes softly pleading into the lens.

It was full of clothes and random electrical items that Pat would take apart when high on coke and then not be able to reassemble.

I felt a tightening in my abdomen- just a tug at first. t ry_& V�u1/ Zcl Labor For the next three hours, I shifted between fitful sleep and agitated wakefulness. Waves of hatred for Pat came over me. I hated him for bringing me back into the world of heroin, for pushing me into a marriage I never really wanted, for putting this baby inside me and then disappearing anytime I actually wanted him to be around. Alternately, I was awash in pangs of desire. I wanted to have the life I always imagined. I wanted the loving husband, the scads of children running about and getting underfoot. I knew I would never have that with Pat, even from the beginning. He was in love with the life. He married me for credibility on the streets,because I was known and knew things. I was the homecoming queen of junkie high. What he wanted was respect from the other losers that said he was pathetic- who clearly knew him better than I did. He got his prize, and I realized way too late that he robbed me of mine. At four o'clock, Pat came stumbling through the door. His eyes were glassy and he was toting a book bag. He started to deliver some lie about how he was not high,that he shared everything fifty-fifty with me. I held up an impatient hand. "I'm in labor." He dropped the bag and started smiling. It was the giddy smile of a kid on Christmas morning. He came over to the couch and tried to put his hands on my belly. I pushed him away. "Have you called your sister yet?"he asked. "No, Pat,"I snapped, "What the fuck was I going to tell her why you weren't here?" "Just tell her I had to go out and help a friend."he shrugged, as though that were the simplest and most obvious conclusion. "Yeah, right," I seethed, "Sarah's going to believe that shit?You just left your nine- months pregnant wife at home alone so you could go help somebody else- at two o'clock in the morning. Everybody knows that you don't help anybody but yourself." Pat sneered at me, and I flinched- expecting a slap to the mouth-but he just stormed away. He grabbed the back pack and sat on the floor, rifling through its contents.Please,please, please don't have another gun. The contractions had become so strong that I doubled over when they hit. I could feel them coming on, slow at first and building to a rushing thunder. It was like standing on the Ap1 k Lea_ nt, gavylo 26n3 Napalm Butterflies railroad tracks trying to catch a freight car as the trains whooshed by you,making your bones quake with their power. I called my sister. Her husband answered, "Hello?' "It's Leanne. I need you." I panted into the phone,breathless from the last contraction. "Oh shit!"Tom said, and I heard my sister in the background say something,"We'll be right there." He hung up then and I lay back against the couch cushions, wiping sweat off my forehead with the back of my arm. Pat put Star Wars into the VCR. When my Sarah and Tom arrived,my contractions were only minutes apart. Pat was slumped over on the stairs, nodding out. I was laying on the couch, doubled around a small pillow,growing ever more resentful of Ewoks and Droids as the minutes passed. "Sarah,please,"I looked to my sister,who stood in the doorway, backlit by the early morning sun, "turn this stupid movie off- I cannot have this baby with that song in my head." She came to sit by me, and I gripped her hand whispering, "please don't leave." Sarah murmured kind words and stroked my arms through another contraction. She had a little watch out and was timing them,her wide eyes growing ever bigger. Finally, she called the midwife back. Maureen asked to speak to me. "Come on in," she relented, "but you'll probably have to go home again- you sound too calm and well put-together to be very far along in the process." She had me lay down,to check my dilation. I clutched Sarah's hand still,holding it against my cheek as another contraction crashed over me. I liked the way her cool, rough knuckles felt against my skin.Please don't leave. "Oh,wow!"Maureen chuckled in that calm, gentle way that years of delivering babies had lent her voice, "You really are ready to go-ten inches!" "What does that mean?"I asked, panting between contractions. "It's time,he's on his way." "I°Y l L—ec ✓� � vVLA' Labor D�c�wt� 2�3 The birthing tub was full and I climbed in, everyone's hands supporting me. I laid back in the water, enjoying the momentary space between my body clenching down around my womb- trying to force him out. My time in this peace was cut short. I felt Pat slip in behind me. He had taken off his clothes and clambered in, shoving himself between me and the edge of the bath. I opened my eyes to see my sister looking awkwardly into the distance, at the clock,the instruments, anywhere but at my naked husband. "Wait, wait,"Maureen pressed her stethoscope against an ear,head cocked. Her other hand held the heart rate monitor, "hang on- it looks like his heart rate is dropping." "What?What does that mean?"I wasn't sure if it was my voice, my sister's, or Pat who asked. "Oh,"she smiled with her grandmotherly wisdom, "it's no big deal- happens all the time. Let's just get you out and onto the bed-just to get a better reading." I can 1, I can 1 possibly-I need to just do this. Together, they helped me back out of the tub and supported my wilting body as I doubled over in a massive contraction, pushing against my own will, standing in the middle of the room.I just need you out- I pleaded with my son, just-please. I laid on the bed on my side,sweating. Weakly, I called out, "Sarah.." She was there,beside me. I gripped her hand and held on. Don t leave. "Oh, look," Maureen cooed from somewhere far away, "here is is. Put your hand down and touch him." I reached between my legs and felt a hard,hairy knob. I looked up at Sarah's face. She was smiling and crying, she looked down at me and nodded. Okay. Okay. I can do this. Taking as deep a breath as I could muster, I beared down through the next contraction, pushing until I truly thought my lungs were going to fall out with everything else. I shredded into pieces- a million napalm butterflies erupting from my body. His head was out, a tiny baby yell met my ears. Then, the pain that was so quick and devastating was immediately soothed by the cold slosh of the rest of him tumbling into the world. Maureen placed the baby on my chest, still sticky with our shared effort, saying, "You did good, look at him-this is your son." 1 t faA4*i-e �i vvivc Ire Napalm Butterflies "Hi Xabien,"I whispered,choking on his name, "I'm your mommy." Everything disappeared and we were left, floating in space, in darkness- me and my baby. He wiggled his head,mouth nudging for my breast. I moved instinctually,guiding him to my nipple. He latched on, tiny jaws working. Only then did he open his eyes, casting around for a moment before settling on my face. They were slate grey and locked on me with an expression of recognition. Together, we fell asleep. When I awoke, Xabien was still with me-nursing contentedly. I looked around the room. We were alone,the bath drained,my clothes neatly folded on the bed beside me. There was a styrofoam box of Chinese take-out on the nightstand, Sesame Tofu-my sister knew exactly what I wanted to eat.I love you so much right now. It took me a moment to figure out how to snug my arm under the baby in order to move, without disturbing, him as I shifted to a sitting position. Smiling, I lifted a tiny hand to my mouth-kissing each individual finger. I marveled at his tiny ears,his eyebrows- all the things that on anyone else would seem ordinary-were miracles on him.I created this, I smoothed my hand over his sandy mass of hair, this was built inside my own body. "Hey,"his voice ricocheted past me, "Glad you're up- let's go home." Pat swung into the room, smiling- eyes bright. He came to sit beside me, reaching out to stroke Xabien's head with the back of his hand. I gripped his hand in mine and we squeezed each other with mutual delight. "Look what we did,"my voice cracked with pride, a tear plopping onto my chest and rolling down to my son's mouth before I could wipe it away. "He's beautiful," Pat whispered,burying his face into my thigh, "Thank you. Thank you." It's going to be different now. I watched Pat coo at the baby. Xabien wrapped his tiny hand around his father's single upheld finger.I had nothing to worry about- now that the baby is here, everything will change. Labor "Maureen said we could go anytime you were ready," Pat rubbed my back,"Do you think we can try?" Home. "Yes,"I smiled up at him, "I'm feeling okay- let's go home." "Where the fuck is it?" Pat came storming down the stairs. We had been home for only a few minutes. I barely remember my sister and her husband leaving, staggering away in an exhausted bundle after kissing me and Xabien goodbye a second or third time. I was lost in gazing at this baby. My baby. This amazing, squishy little creature that had, only a few hours before,tumbled from my body into the world. I pulled my eyes reluctantly away from Xabien's face. Pat's hair was wild, sticking up all over like he had been yanking it in frustration. His eyes were ripping back and forth across the room- looking for something. Oh no, no no no... I laid Xabien down on the little pad I had made on the couch, and tried to keep my voice slow and calm, despite the panic creeping up my throat, "Where is what?" Pat grabbed me by the arm and yanked me up off the couch. I could feel his angry breath hot on my face as he growled, "My fucking money,you bitch. You stole it." I twisted to look behind me at Xabien. His crumpled,purple newborn face was still with sleep.Please don't wake up. "Look at me,"Pat's voice was low, close to my ear, "I know you hid it-you better get it, right now." "Baby,please,"I tried to placate him, "I swear- I was in labor when you got home- I couldn't have moved it. I didn't even know you had any money" His lips,white with paranoid fury,trembled around clenched teeth as his breath became louder. He pulled me closer to his body momentarily, up on to my tiptoes,before flinging me to the ground. I landed on my hands and knees.A white-hot pain seared its way- like a quick burning fuse- from my vagina up through my spine and stuck in the back of my head. 2n I eta v►we� W7 t-" • �.�c�� X13 Napalm Butterflies He was holding me by my hair,dragging me across the floor. My hands folded beneath me and I collapsed onto my chest. Gasping for air, I once again try to tell him that I never saw any money.An angry, strangled noise erupts from him- and he yanked me by the back of the shirt, ripping the arm strap in half. I fell back to the floor with a thud. I instinctively curled up, balled fists covering my face and head. "Get up."he demanded, shoving me, "get up!" Then, suddenly, he was gone- looking out the window. I lay still,waiting,watching him peer out the window. Then he whipped around to face me again. "It's my folks!"his voice is a whisper, but his tone a yell, "Get up! Fix your shirt!" I unwrapped myself, not knowing what else to do, and dashed for the bathroom. I looked in the mirror first, searching for any tell-tale bruises on my face. I pulled off the old, ripped top and squeezed myself into one I found on the floor. It was sleeveless, camouflage with a sparkly red star on the chest.A gift from a friend,who gave me a bag of stretchy clothes when she heard that Pat spent the money I saved for maternity clothes on dope. I tugged the ridiculous shirt down over my still-swollen belly, embarrassed at my in- between pregnancy and motherhood body. My uterus ached with its new emptiness, my rug- burned hands and knees throbbed, and my heart wondered where to go. Pulling my hair up into a sloppy ponytail, I tried to prepare my self to talk to his parents-to his mother. "Hiiiieeee!" she shrieked in a giddy falsetto, descending upon me with a forced, stiff hug, "I'm so thrilled! Look at my grandson!" Xabien was still laying on the couch where 1 had set him. His face was contorted, a quiet mewling-the beginnings of a cry- issuing from his tiny mouth. I went to him,pulling him up and against my body. He squirmed against me, quieted, and fell back to sleep. "You look great!"Tom lied, smiling with his puffed up chest, he turned and cuffed Pat under the chin,his tone changing, "You going to start doing right now?" "Oh,Tom!"Mary clucked,bustling over to me,her wide face pushing between my chest and Xabien, slobbering affectionate kisses over his tiny head. It was the closest she had ever been to my body, and I instinctively stepped back. Pat clapped his hands together loudly and exclaimed,"Picture time!" f YV 1 LP-c. ' vl e �vrv��n Labor He handed his father the polaroid camera and came to stand by me. I rocked Xabien gently in my arms,trying not to look up at all of their wide,phony smiles. Pat grabbed me by the waist and tugged me against himself. "Smile!"Mary trilled, "just smile- aren't you happy?" "The happy parents,"Tom confirmed, aiming the camera at us. "Smile,"Pat whispered through gritted teeth. I tried. Tom pushed the button.A bright flash,then the flat vomit of a polaroid appeared- our first family photo. Mary slipped Pat a small envelope on their way out,whispering, "Get her something nice." He nodded,pocketed the gift, and kissed her on the cheek. He walked his parents outside, taking the phone with him. When their car was out of sight,he called someone to pick him up- half the cash for a ride to Debo's house. Ben was there in no time. He came in briefly to greet the baby,making faces and spouting the standard congratulations. For a moment, he stopped and looked at me-blinked hard- and then sighed and said he'd wait in the car. "You don't have to go,"I offered, not looking Pat in the eye. He snickered over his shoulder as he walked out, "Yeah,well,you'll be saying something different in a few hours when you're dope-sick." Xabien started to stir in my arms. Hungry already? I laid down on the couch and positioned him in the way the lactation consultant had shown us.A little mauve hand made its way out from the amateur blanket-swaddling job I had done and gripped at my chest. It opened and closed against my heart as he rooted for milk. I closed my eyes and held him tight. s I ka,,n Vie, %(YlriA Sunshowers "My happiest childhood memory?"she repeats,smiling off into the distance-thinking. Aprill is in her early twenties-her hair worn long and natural,pulled away from her round, smiling face by two thickly coiled strands. Her face is bare of makeup,her nails unpolished. She wears comfortable and flattering casual office clothing- a beige short-sleeve sweater over a black shirt- and a few pieces of simple,yet beautiful jewelry. Bringing her eyes back to mine, she begins to tell me about learning how to ride a bike. It was a pink and purple with streamers, she tells me.A Waikiki, she laughs softly,"I remember because it was like Hawaii."For a girl who grew up in the colds of Dover, Delaware,it must have seemed like a piece of paradise. I had the same bike- as perhaps did every girl who grew up between the 1980's and 90's, and I tell her so. We share a moment of giddy joy over the banana seat and sparkly flowers on the frame-the childhood excitement unfaded. In the beginning,there were training wheels- but they were taken off at some point as she moved from her wobbly beginnings in the driveway of her house to the backyard and, finally, around the block.As she says this, she tilts her head up and back and lightly closes her eyes-and in this moment, I can see her 10-year-old coasting around on her two-wheeler with her face to the sun and the wind pushing back and through a tangled mass of happy curls. A young man with an oversized basketball jersey and dreadlocks walks in through the heavy glass doors. They swish silently closed behind him as he approaches her desk. She blinks at me kindly before turning to speak with him. As soon as she gets him directed to his destination, the telephone beside her issues a muted cluck- a red light flashes. Her voice is quiet and unhurried. She gives the caller the same undivided attention that she offered the visitor and to me. She switches the phone to her other ear and reaches up to touch her earring- a beautiful gold disk adorned with red and turquoise beads from which tiny gold chain loops dangle. y Respondent's self-chosen alias Vi I (taAvi er Wt CV Hanging up the phone, she turns and says, "I remember a lot of sunny days,but one day it was sunny and raining at the same time-that was pretty weird." My grandmother used say, on days that the rain broke through the sunshine, "looks like the Devil's beatin'his wife again." I never understood why, and never worked up the nerve to ask. It portended danger and something that adults knew and gave us glimpses of, but always hid from our direct sight. "I never thought it would happen," she cocks her head to the side, gaze sliding off to the floor, "but when it happened-it was really weird." Her parents divorced when she was twelve. They had been together for 23 years,their two oldest children were in college.April and her younger brother were home to watch it all unravel, listening to the fighting through bedroom walls. "I remember-well, I didn't until my brother reminded me the other day, actually,"her hand reaches back up to that dangly earring, fingertips smoothing over the beaded disk, "the police showed up during one of their arguments." April paused to turn her attention to two young women who have come in. She gives them forms to fill out and types something into the computer. I am suddenly uncomfortable,my own parents'messy divorce cracking through this quiet space in our conversation. Mom's yelling accusations and Dad slamming doors. My grandmother's voice barely a murmur under the crack of the door where my sister and I listened, paralyzed with fear of divorce, as she tried to mediate between the two. After their clipboards are turned in,the two women settle into the circular waiting room chairs.April glances their way quickly,then turns back to me-her voice just a shade quieter now. She tells me that her mother moved into a guest bedroom. She slept there for about a week before her husband came pounding on the door. That's when the cops came. April only glimpsed the police from the top of the stairs, she says,"but I remember looking out the window and seeing all the lights on those cars-just flashing." I thanked April for her time, promised to give her a copy of my writing, and walked outside into the July sunshine not knowing quite what to do with myself.This woman, a stranger picked at random,just shared very intimate moments of her childhood with me. She trusted me to take her words and write about them- about her. I don't know her, and I don't know the rest of her life.All I have are these snippets- something glorious,and something frightening, from when she was very young.Two small slices of experience that I relate to on a deep level. There is the dark, fearful seclusion of listening to a marriage crumble from the other side of closed doors and bedroom walls-but also that first, exhilarating solo ride around the block. Unhindered by training wheels-we try to go faster, faster so those pink and purple handlebar tassels fly straight back.And of you pedal hard enough, even the rain can't scare the sun away from your joyful,upturned face. w OcclUSlon I sat with her for three straight days. It had been six-and-a-half weeks since the doctor told us the news,he gave her less than four months. The cancer had traveled to her brain, there was nothing that could be done. So we waited. I held her hand until I couldn't take the way it felt- gnarled and hard- veined, like trees dying under kudzu's choking coils. I listened to her sleep, the rattle of her lungs punctuated by her gasps and whimperings of pain.This woman who had led me fearlessly through all the agonies of childhood laying now in a cloud of helplessness. Laying my head against her gaunt cheeks,I breathed her in. She didn't even smell like herself anymore.The stench of stale cigarettes had finally worn off,eroded from her rice-paper skin by so much time in this sterile place, all steel and bleach and fluorescent lights. It seemed as though she herself was becoming just another part of the tapestry of the home,just another empty plastic bin. We waited for seven weeks exactly,she and I. On the last day,the last hour, that moment where I knew it was over and that I would be left waiting alone.... in that last catch of our shared breath,the door opened and a woman walked in. My mother. I hadn't thought she would come. She held my hand in hers as we waited for that one last minute.The three of us. internal Revenue Service Department of the Treasury District Director P. G.
