"There is nothing as whole as a broken heart." Kotsker Rebbe (Hasidic rabbi, 1787-1859) Today would have been Rachel Corrie's 46th birthday. I'm never not moved by Rachel's story. We were politicized about Palestine around the same time in the early 2000s. We had the same teachers at The Evergreen State College and she was one year younger than I am. I often experience a somatic response when I hear a quote from Rachel or listen to her parents speak. My heart feels full and grief pushes it a little further open.

BARGAINING WITH THE PALISADES FIRE, I BUY A PACK OF EDIBLE FLOWERS If I eat every petal of chive blossom and hibiscus, marigold and rose, if I swallow each dahlia and begonia whole, will you spare the Musch Trail in Topanga? I don't know what to do if it burns. If I make like a wildfire and erase this palmful of lavender, will you leave my favorite meadow tasselled in White sage and black mustard? May I please Keep that shaded creekside nook I named Quail Holler? Listen, the twisted manzanitas that gnarl through the state park with their waxed auburn bark already recall flesh burned to the third degree. Right now, Chuck and Gail's house still stands with its Spanish tile, twin writers' sheds, and framed Sylvia Plath drawing, the flames stopped by the choppers' water bombs half a block from their gate. I've stopped photographing the striped sunsets'® mineral bleed because I don't even want to think the word beautiful when those black-and-fuchsia bands deepen their geodes only due to the smoke and debris. An ex-boyfriend once brought me a quartz-filled rock from a gem store in Richmond where he'd bought digital scales for the weed Mindy drove down each month from Albany. The safety instructions said to break open the geodes using a clawhammer and tube sock. This way youd contain the blast, the explosion's shards wouldn't fly, and you'd still keep both eyes to bear witness. —Anna Journey
Imagine if instead of men killing women, bosses were killing their employees. Public opinion would be galvanized. Every other day there would be a news story of some boss killing an employee. People would say, things have gone too far. A person should be able to go to work without running the risk of being strangled, beaten to death, or gunned down in a hail of bullets. Now, if an employee murdered their boss every other day, it would be
