notes on "the memory of hands"

written december 11-12, 2007
revived march 7, 2008,
when it suddenly became strikingly relevant again.

this was originally intended as a gift for someone i can't explain things to.
i never gave it to her.
i kind of hope she reads it here.

the piece is what i'd like to call "semi-fiction":
the fictionalization of actual events,
with many of the details maintained,
in order to make them easier to contend with
(and in order for the author to explore other possibilities).

the artist quoted in part i is
amber rubarth
