It was a blush of love: my dead people were the best. I had a flash of my mother, her red hair tied back in a ponytail, helping me tug off my flimsy winter boots, and then rubbing my toes one by one. Warming up big to, warming up baby toe. In this memory, I could smell buttered toast, but I don't know if there was buttered toast. In this memory I still had all my toes.
