COVER, MARCH 9: “CASTLES, RUINS AND MYSTERIES”
EXTRA CREDIT The story about the second Governor’s Mansion revealed a bit of Santa Fe architectural history I knew nothing about. I started to wonder where precisely that gracious Georgian confection once stood. Reports of flood damage suggested a location adjacent to the Santa Fe River. The tree shadows in a couple of photographs suggested the mansion faced south. Sure enough, a 1930 Sanborn fire insurance map from the Library of Congress made note of this structure: due north of the Capitol (now the Bataan Memorial Building), roughly half-way between the Capitol and the river. A north-south line bisecting the Capitol would just about intersect the Governor’s Mansion through it’s front door…The city lost a distinctive landmark when it was demolished. Santa Fe apparently also lost what appears to be a shady park. Only two of the many trees survived on

the grounds north of the Capitol, according to a 1954 picture in the current issue of El Palacio. (One of those trees is most likely the one to the left in the Reporter’s cover photograph.) I can find no record of a major flood that could have damaged the mansion in the 1940s or early 1950s. Perhaps water damage of a different kind than an estuary overflowing its banks brought about the mansion’s demise. The 20th century cliche, oft repeated, also held true regarding the second New Mexico Governor’s Mansion: The demolition site eventually became a place to park cars.

The Disconnected Despite a court order and millions invested, some New Mexico students are still waiting for reliable internet access BY WILLIAM MELHADO w i l l i a m @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
S
heila and Vincent Largo breathed a deep sigh of relief when their daughter, Faith, walked into a classroom last August to begin her ninth-grade year at Cuba High School, a small institution in a town of less than 1,000 people, located a few miles from the Santa Fe National Forest. Faith, like most New Mexico students, had spent the previous academic year attending classes online. She used a district-provided hotspot and ran a generator to keep her connected. “My husband and I did our best to try and help her with all the stuff on the laptop,” Sheila Largo tells SFR, adding that the family needed more guidance on how to effectively use the tools demanded by the pandemic-driven Zoom classroom. Things got easier as the Largos familiarized themselves with some of the computer-based programs, but their spotty internet connection meant online learning was never a proper substitute for in-person schooling. In Cuba and across New Mexico, the Largos’ story is common. Despite two years passing since COVID-19 hit New Mexico, many families, particularly in rural parts of the state, still struggle with limited or no internet access. Near the end of the 2021 school year, First Judicial District Judge Matthew Wilson ordered the state to provide immediate access to devices and connections to high-speed internet. The ruling came three years after Wilson’s predecessor, late-District Court Judge Sarah Singleton, found the state had violated students’ constitutional right to a sufficient public education in the 2018 case Martinez and Yazzie v. State of New Mexico. Wilson’s decision last May came after an emergency motion for relief filed by the Yazzie plaintiffs. When school buildings shuttered in March 2020 due to the pandemic, students took to laptops and Zoom for class, which prevented those without a device or broadband connection from logging in. The
8
emergency motion specified students in rural areas serving Native students were particularly disadvantaged. The across-the-board access Wilson ordered hasn’t materialized for all New Mexico students, an analysis by SFR finds. “It’s a statewide problem,” says state Sen. William Soules, D-Las Cruces, of the lack of internet access in New Mexico, adding that it “became really evident in the school, the disparities.” The chair of the Legislative Education Study Committee and a longtime teacher, Soules tells SFR that the issue persists “in communities all across the state where they don’t have access to high-quality, fast broadband.” The state’s efforts to provide a quick connection through hotspots weren’t sufficient, Soules contends. “We’ve got problems…all around with broadband. Where I live there are lots of times I have to tell people, if I’m on the phone driving, that I’m gonna drop a call here any moment,” says Soules. In an October presentation to LESC about the Yazzie/Martinez technology ruling, the Public Education Department noted the millions of dollars available to families in the form of subsidies and technology benefits. Yet, “New Mexico needs a long-term strategy

to address student connectivity in the home,” the department’s report reads. Soules notes that the state has made significant investments to improve internet access, but it takes time to build out broadband infrastructure. During the last session, the Legislature invested $20 million in connectivity nuts and bolts, which followed $130 million in allocations made the previous year. “I don’t know that I would say there’s good progress,” Soules says, though “there has been progress made.” Some school districts have taken the issue into their own hands. A month ago, the Largos received an internet-service upgrade when Cuba Independent Schools helped install a Starlink terminal at their home that enables the family to access the world wide web through satellites. Unlike other satellite-based internet services, Starlink leverages low-orbit satellites to access a faster connection without relying on traditional broadband infrastructure such as fiber cables that rarely make it to rural areas. The Cuba district went in with Starlink in the hopes it would better serve its rural population, where some students travel two hours by bus to get to class. Superintendent Karen Sanchez-Griego tells SFR the district purchased 450 Starlink units, one for every family in the district, but the process to get each receiver installed is lengthy and costs more than expected. Of the district’s $3.4 million federal pandemic relief funding, 35% of it went to making the investment in technology and internet services, which Sanchez-Griego explains was among the community’s primary needs. “It’s not going to just be…here today, gone tomorrow,” Sanchez-Griego tells SFR. “It’s a long-range investment, overall, in what kids and families are going to be able to do.”
The superintendent explains that about one-third of the district’s families have been connected to the internet through Starlink. For those still waiting on that broadband infrastructure, she plans to have everyone online by the end of the school year in May. Sheila Largo and her family have already seen the benefit from the Starlink connection. The standalone internet connection is faster than the cellular network they previously relied on and doesn’t require “our phones using up all our data, so it’s really wonderful to have that in our house.” This story was produced with support from the Education Writers Association Reporting Fellowship program.

cites two reasons for hiring struggles in the city. One of them is a child care shortage, which predates the pandemic but has been exacerbated over the past two years, particularly when schools were operating remotely. O’Donnell agrees that it’s likely a major factor. “I think that the increase in costs of child care and the difficulty there make it so that if you are somebody working in some of these industries, it might not make sense for you to go back to work,” O’Donnell tells SFR. Another factor, Brown says, is people switching jobs. “People are pivoting,” Brown tells SFR. “We’re trying to figure out where they might be going so that we can establish job training…I think there’s a cushion [from the volume of job openings] that allows some workers to say, ‘I’m going to find my own way and I have a little bit of time to do that,’ know-

usiness owners across sectors in Santa Fe have struggled to fill their workforces for months, even as indicators such as gross receipts tax revenue pointed to the city’s economic recovery. Multiple forces drive the stagnant hiring trend, city officials and economists tell SFR, including health concerns, a child care shortage and career changes. Plus, the pandemic hit Santa Fe particularly hard in terms of job losses because its economy is reliant on customer service industries, says Michael O’Donnell, acting director of the University of New Mexico’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research. That’s made staffing up difficult. Those nuances run contrary to a popular narrative that emerged about this time last year across the country, as business owners and lobbyists, mostly in the restaurant industry, lamented understaffing in one news story after the next—often blaming their difficulty finding workers on people cashing in on unemployment or stimulus checks. Overheated coverage included reports from Albuquerque in which fast food joint franchisees and restaurant owners blamed a lazy potential workforce for hiring struggles. And though Santa Fe has largely been spared the horror stories, some business owners
have raised the specter of a deadbeat working class in interviews with SFR in recent months. The numbers do, in fact, still look depressing. New Mexico has seen a 1.6% decrease in its labor force participation rate—the percentage of the working-age population that’s employed or looking for employment—between December 2019 and December 2021, when the rate hit 57%. The nationwide rate last December, meanwhile, was 61.9%. The Santa Fe Metropolitan Statistical Area had an unemployment rate of 4.6% in December, slightly higher than March 2020, when the pandemic began and the rate was 4.4%. In analyzing businesses’ trouble hiring, O’Donnell says it’s important to look at the participation rate rather than just the unemployment rate, which is the number of unemployed people as a percentage of the labor force. “If the labor force size falls, the unemployment rate can fall also, even if it’s the case that you don’t have more people employed,” O’Donnell says. The state’s most recent Labor Market Review lists health concerns as one potential reason for the participation rate decline. Fears about getting sick or exposing vulnerable family members to COVID-19 have kept some people out of the job market, says Ali Arshad, who teaches economics at New Mexico Highlands University. “People are always worried about falling sick and having to pay tons of money for health care,” Arshad says.

ing that there are a lot of open jobs.” Take Emilio Nava. The 25-year-old worked as a custodian at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum for nearly two years. He says the museum paid him decently and took care of him during the pandemic, plus the schedule worked well with his two kids. But he wasn’t happy there, so he quit last year and took a cut to his pay and hours to pursue his passion and start budtending at local cannabis company Best Daze, where he’s now an assistant manager earning more than he was at the museum. Nava says he thinks there’s a generational divide in how people think about jobs. “We saw our parents and grandparents do a job that they weren’t necessarily happy about for all of our lives,” he says. “I think we just watched so many people that we love struggle that we figured, well, if we’re gonna struggle, might as well struggle while doing something we love. I think our generation isn’t afraid of the failure aspect of it anymore.” O’Donnell points to economic restructuring that’s happened over the past half century, and how events like the Great Recession have shaped people’s views on work. “I think there has been this trend over time, at least with a portion of the population, that they feel they need to follow their dreams,” O’Donnell says. “Things obviously aren’t like they were in the ‘50s and ‘60s where we had this large workforce that worked for their employer for 25 years and then collected their pension.” Looking forward, Arshad says he thinks some businesses have taken steps in the right direction by raising wages and creating flexible schedules. Universal health care, federal minimum wage increases and paid sick leave would be more significant, impactful steps, Arshad says. Starting in July, all private sector employees in New Mexico will accrue one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked.

Folded Neatly, Ready to Go Home By Carol Miller
Poetry echoing trauma takes center stage
H
ow would you describe your feelings if you shouted inside a cavern, and hundreds of echoes returned ? And sonorous sounds filled the space? How would you depict the phenomenon itself, and describe your emotions? Breathtaking. Impactful. Touching. Overwhelming. The adjectives—no matter how many accumulate—say too little. The dilemma is comparable to trying to express my feeling after receiving over 80 submissions following the call for poetry on the themes of history and trauma. Before reading the poems, let’s review the contest guidelines. I asked for “poems dealing with a traumatic event that has a deeper history, so that the poem deals both with the present manifestation and the historical background. The traumatic crisis may be cultural, racial, sexual, gender-based, geographical, environmental, or anything else.” Put another way—write me something about where historical tragedy ends, and your public or private story begins. Make me feel the weight of history. In response I received an outpouring of rhyming, confessional and free verse and experimental poetry addressing (thematically) loss, dislocation, isolation, immigration, racism, love, family, guilt, memory and drawing (historically) on memories of the Holocaust, the bombing of Dresden, massacres of Native Americans, World War II battles, Japanese internment camps, Vietnam, Kent State and the killing of George Floyd, to name a few specific references. I can’t humanly convey the similarities and differences in the submissions (because I can’t reprint them all.) But their emotional register hit me. The corpus hit me harder than any individual poem. I didn’t have to wade through the manuscripts, feeling tedium, or annoyance, so much as simply let them wash over me. There is an immense outpouring of goodwill in these poems. It proved impossible to remain unimpressed by the conscientiousness evident. In its own way, although I knew Santa Fe was a progressive city, reading so many meditations on ethics and history written (mostly) by local authors was an affirmation of human nature. If you’re vexed because you submitted, but don’t see your poem printed here, then my advice is to study the chosen poems carefully. Study them for the values that struck me. And that you can incorporate into your next poem. Note Carol Miller’s skillful use of silence in “Folded Neatly, Ready to Go Home.” Alejandro Jimenez’s layered unraveling of dislocation and memory in “Untitled Poem about Immigration” and Leslie Zane’s shrewd use of formalism (a formal villanelle) to contain timeless gravitas and topical events in “History Cannot Be Chiseled Away.” I chose the prizewinners and honorable mentions that evoked history heavily enough for me to feel its import, but balanced inside the shapes, sounds and metaphorical veils of poetry. Enjoy. —Darryl Lorenzo Wellington

Daughters of the weavers walking two thousand miles. For a dream. For life. Threads connect me to the hands of many women. Each came from the maker. Or the sister mother neighbor. In a market or at the artist’s small home, made of dirt, like mine. Stacked like beautiful gravestones, memorials to Mayan grief. Too precious to wear. Rematriation is the dream. Each huipile gifted to a woman forced to run with only a pack too small for treasures. Notes: The huipil (plural: huipiles) is a garment hand woven on a loom and worn by Mayan women. For the Mayan women of Guatemala, the woven design identifies which community they come from.

Untitled poem about immigration By Alejandro Jimenez In the photo I am 3 years-old and off camera our dog a black and red dobermann without a tail that we nicknamed, mocho, was still alive. He hadn’t eaten whatever made him start puking uncontrollably, which caused my grandmother to ask my uncle to put mocho out of his misery. I stood atop the basurero as mocho’s lifeless body [now with a hole in its head] was thrown down the cliff into the river. There was a lot of trash but mocho was the first dead dog [I had seen] in it. His body stopped rolling, belly up and over time I would watch the sun, crows, insects, and other dogs uncover the pearly white ribs hidden underneath his black fur. I would make a habit of visiting mocho. In the photo I am 3 years-old and I am smiling at the camera. I got a knife in my hand and I am cutting into the cake but I don’t remember eating. Off camera the mandarina tree has not been cut down and the lemon tree is planted in a bucket. It was August, it was cloudy and muggy that day. My grandmother threw water on the dirt floor to keep the dust from rising [onto my cake of course]. In the photo I am [mostly] complete. I’ve not met grief. It was the first time I met my mother [well, my first memory of her anyway]. In the photo I am wearing an all blue outfit [even then I disliked wearing all one color]. I remember feeling blue that day. I remember that I ran into the bedroom and hid under the bed and my mother tried to console me but she was a stranger back then. I would not have a memory of her until I was 8 years old and I was standing on carpeted floors and the smells in the house were all new [even the birdsongs needed translating]. I felt like mocho: belly-up, unable to shoo away the insects coming to nibble on my flesh.

History cannot be chiseled away By Leslie Zane History cannot be chiseled away, Remove the word “savage” but it’s too late, Monument toppled and people must pay. Eighteen months, the plaza in disarray, Heroes, victims, all are considered great. History cannot be chiseled away. Outsiders, non-natives, just punks who stray, Obelisk falls, past destroyed, headlines grate, Monument toppled and people must pay. Plywood surrounding plinth now on display, We lament, argue, form councils and wait, History cannot be chiseled away. A tri culture town with voices that sway, Rallies, opinions, citizens irate Monument toppled and people must pay. Eighteen months is a long enough delay, Where this will end is a constant debate History cannot be chiseled away, Monument toppled and people must pay. Leslie Zane has been writing for most of her life from NYC, to NM, to the Bay Area and back to NM. She currently tutors kids 7 - 14, in writing and reading, is an improviser with various groups, loves to hike, be inspired by Northern NM scenery and can be seen walking in and around town on most days.

i don’t know if you know how much fullmetal alchemist means to somebody like me, somebody who had to buy my life at the price of not quite limbs, at organs removed, to see somebody clutch incision sites when it rains to see nerve pain in action and shake at reminders of what happened, of the family curse. my body, too, is a site of bargaining, my aunt’s life for ours, maybe my organs, maybe, if i do it right, will protect me, and maybe, if it happens to me, maybe my sister will be safe somehow. i know it’s not how it works but maybe i can dream it into being, her genes unbroken, only once in a pair of siblings when my dad and his sister were not so lucky. what happened to us is a fluke unrelated to the genocide of our people, it came from my goyish father not my jewish mother and yet. it’s still talked about like we did it to ourselves, the “jewish genetic diseases,” not like we were the blood making the city move not like we were used and spat out not like we were killed not like genocide is a genetic bottleneck and yet. i am a jew and i have a brca mutation and it is a coincidence. and yet there’s a curse in my family’s dna reflecting the bloodshed. it came from the side of my family with people who did it, who flew the planes, not the side with victims whose names i’m scared to ask even though i need to know because i have their blood and they are alive in me alongside fragments of the wrong side and the aunt i didn’t speak to who bought my life with her own and i don’t want my body back, i just want my sister to be able to let this all go like rainwater washing the gutter like dreamless sleep like shed skin cells like double stranded dna breaks.

On a wall of black granite in Washington, on panel number twenty, east side not west, on line 102, a boy’s name is carved. The boy spent eleven months In Vietnam. If he had survived one more he would have come home. When that carving has been effaced, when that boy walks the earth, when he becomes as old a man as I am, when we sit on the porch drinking quarts of Iron City like we used to, when we talk about the old times . . . Flavian Mark Lupinetti is a poet, fiction writer and cardiac surgeon. His work has appeared in About Place, Barrelhouse, Bellevue Literary Review, Briar Cliff Review, Cutthroat, Flint Hills Review, Sport Literate, and ZYZZYVA. He lives in Santa Fe.
Unexpected Costs of Life Expectancy By Richard Sober
Prescribed Burn at Aztec Springs By Gregory Berg
Not a watering can, a drip torch. Same metal shape with balance in hand: 50/50 gas and diesel. Slight tilt, fuel to wick, steady drizzling fire. Benzene soaking leaf litter, roots, fungi. Optimum conditions for the mosaic burn pattern. Generations of nest, now kindling. Little roasted voles, red sizzling berries, smoke in the eyes of a lumbering dove. Homes of bark and stem, burrows of duff turned to ash. Thirteen million square feet at Aztec Springs. Six hours without refueling. If the world were turned upside down, rabbits would be falling into fire. Gregory Berg is a poet, book artist and photographer living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is the author of “The Hiker & the Blaze,” a collection of poetry and artwork about the relationship of man and the natural environment. His handmade books and fine art photography have been in juried exhibitions and are held in private collections.
Camino Real By Richard Sober
I walk on old dirt, a place weighed down with ancient myths, people I’ll never know. Pains I’ve never had walk with me through this nowhere everywhere, this holy site made unholy by those of us who choose to call this place home. I walk hills above a town held in a mountain’s hands, made nameless by so much naming, made almost human, millions of footprints stirred in with rain, snow and wind. A long time ago a coyote killing sheep woke us in the middle of night.
There’s a price on my head. My budget, if I ever had one, did not include living to age eighty-six. Did not include price of rent or mortgage on being out of my reach. Did not include the quantity of my vices, my un-publishable habits, my bad days, days of soaring eagles, racing heart, aching head, foot throbs, heart throbs, nights of serious drinking, sleepwalking, nightmares, inferior architecture of being a man, hernia repair mesh imploding, the penalties and rewards of daydreaming, miscalculations of actuaries, mishaps, surgical malpractice, not enough water, too many muffins, too many friends dying off before we had a chance to say goodbye. Not only that, but, the long road my family took to get here, crooked highway of wandering Jews. My grandmother’s first husband’s head cut off by a Cossack on his way home from work. The secret arguments, slammed doors, red faces after her bouts of electroshock therapy, a family simultaneously absent and overbearing, exhausted parents, a brother out of his body, me, trying to be out of my body, soap operas, the American Dream dragged through the streets like a defeated, captive enemy. The simple oddness of sitting in the third row of a church, watching a priest gently pour water on the head of my grandson. Watching the streams, as if the back of his head was a fountain, silently flowing into a glass bowl, priest and grandson dressed pure as snow, soft echo of Jewish grandfather slipping down the side aisle. Richard Sober conceived this poem during and after attending his grandson’s baptism, he writes, “as I was remembering the story of the decapitation of my grandmother’s first husband.” He is a painter and poet, worker in both fields for 50-odd years.
There was a terrific storm afterward. Walls lit up with lightning. We tossed and turned. The ground was still damp in morning. A car was stuck in the flooded arroyo west of the room where we slept. Eroded mesas around us spelled a heavy dose of silence we had never heard before. Men I worked with decades ago asked me to come down to this part of the world where they squatted half the year. I never did, until decades later. They are long gone, I am here. The winters are warmer and drier, old-timers pride themselves on “sticking it out, “ the town stretches further into the desert, the river is almost extinct, people don’t come and visit like they used to. Old friends don’t write so much anymore. We turn inward more frequently.
A past spreads wider than a future. Some of us are already caught in its hallucinogenic net. So many eyes have seen this place. Sitting alone I feel a surge of possibility in this vast confluence with time. This morning I saw a woman in a Mexican dress, ornate flowers on a black field, pushing a rickety stroller with two Chihuahuas under a blanket. Her black hair brushed close to her skull. She talked to the dogs. She walked the narrow royal road, looking straight ahead. When I looked back she was gone.
Sober wrote this work after seeing someone walking her dogs on Agua Fria. The artist recently completed a series of paintings entitled “River” and writes that he is “considering making an altarpiece without any religious value.”

HONORABLE MENTION
Returning a Child to the Rez By Mary Strong Jackson
We drive under a dreamer’s sky the whitest of clouds plumped and placed in a precise hue of prairie blue in what might be entry into a sweet town where men in overalls stand with hands in pockets talk of rain and when the wheat will be ready to cut instead it’s Whiteclay, Nebraska the 2nd of the month checks have come in bodies are strewn like discarded bottles of beer broken leaking some face down on the street some braced in doorways “they’d get it somewhere and if they had to walk further there’d be more dead on the roads” say the sellers of beer in Whiteclay population 14 2 miles from the dry reservation 4 establishments sell beer just 4 just beer 3 to 4 million cans a year 10 to 13,000 a day sold to the 28,000 Native Americans from Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota Skinny little Angie Eagle Star wakes to meet my eyes in the rear-view mirror “Wanna stop for a coke?” “No,” I say “Scared?” “No. We can stop” “Never mind,” she says Sorrow seems to steam from the streets rising like heat my vision feels wavy the way mirages appear on oiled country roads in July Angie leans over the seat to whisper “I’m almost home!” miles away from the white house white fenced foster home of cut lawns and leashed dogs back to cars that take 4 Hail Marys to start where sunlight wind and snow comes in around door frames and windows where Auntie Sue will gather all their blankets and coats to wrap the two grandpas and two children and herself not a popcorn cozy warm but so they will not freeze so they will not die and be dead like Angie’s father

May 4, 1970 This summer I hear the drumming By Flavian Mark Lupinetti
On the day of the shooting Greg called his Aunt Tillie. Only after she reassured him that his cousin Jean already left campus for the semester did Greg agree to honor our plan to skip school, collect enough from the guys to hit Ray’s party store for a case of Stroh’s, and meet at the creek to blow off the afternoon. Charging sixty cents a quart, Ray’s wasn’t the cheapest place to buy our three-point-two beverage of choice, but it was the one that didn’t hesitate to sell to sixteen-year-olds. Only the older dudes could arbitrage the cheaper suds from Kroger’s, buying low and selling high, sometimes making enough on big party nights that they could drink for free. The next day at school Greg wore the college T-shirt Jean sent him for his birthday on which Greg penned four bullet holes. When Mrs. Landry our guidance counselor saw the shirt, she said to Greg, “They should have shot more.”
Note: In 2017, the 4 liquor stores in Whiteclay lost their licenses and the town ceased to supply alcohol to the reservation. Mary Strong Jackson’s work has appeared in journals and anthologies in the United States and England. Her chapbooks include Dreaming in Grief, From Other Tongues, The Never-Ending Poem by the Poets of Everything, Witnesses, No Buried Dogs, Between Door and Frame and Clippings. She resides near Santa Fe.

GRAN IS RIGHT Can you even call yourself a Santa Fean if you don’t have strong feelings about Café Castro? As far as we’re concerned, you cannot be, but even if you’ve somehow failed to come to terms with some of the best New Mexican food our town has to offer, you can remedy that mistake this Thursday alongside a performance from Mariachi Gran Victoria, a super-fun mariachi act that promises to meld with your happy hour experience for memory-making, killer chile and good times.

MUSIC FRI/25 TAKING CARE If nothing else, Santa Fe’s music scene works hard to take care of its own, so when local musician and filmmaker Lydia Clark recently found herself staring down the barrel of some fairly hefty medical bills, you know the scene came together to work something out. That something, as it happens, comes in the form of a benefit show at Tumbleroot this week. There, you’ll find acts like vocalist Hillary Smith and Americana weirdos Joe West & Friends, plus more Americana from Sarah Streitz Band, Alto Street, Bill Hearne and others, all of whom come together into some kind of empathy-based, money-raising Voltron. Proceeds will go to Clark, whose advanced spinal arthritis is inhibiting pretty much all aspects of her quality of life and is reportedly quite painful. It kind of feels like a show from musicians you like that also helps someone is about as good as it gets. (ADV) Concert for Lydia Clark: 6 pm Friday, March 25. $10 Tumbleroot Brewery & Distillery, 2791 Agua Fría St. (505) 303-3808

MUSIC MON/28 LALALALALALA You could throw a rock in almost any direction and hit an atmospheric indie artists these days. And though that’s great on one hand, it’s harder than ever to differentiate between that which is fleeting and that which maybe—just maybe—has staying power. When it comes to Chicago’s Lillie West, aka Lala Lala, that staying power is evident. West’s on the road these days in support of her third fulllength, I Want the Door to Open, out now on Sub-Pop imprint Hardly Art, and with her patented layers on layers of guitars, horns, synths and vocals, she’s cutting a swath of excellence across this great land. Think heady and melodic, but experimental and ghostly; think dense instrumentation over sometimes minimalist singing tracks, and an artsy undercurrent that belies the old “heartbreak sucks” indie ethos for new age goodness. Don’t try to nail down a genre, just enjoy. (ADV) Lala Lala: 7 pm Monday, March 28. $16.50 Meow Wolf, 1352 Rufina Circle, (505) 395-6369
DANCE SUN/27
Dance, Dance Revolution Breaking master Alejandra Avila lends her skills to ballet/modern dance class at Wise Fool We dove deep into the folks behind Santa Fe’s 3HC breakdance crew in a cover story last year, and thorough readers will likely recall how Alejandra Avila, aka B-Girl Ale, has a background in ballet and modern dance. And though Avila ultimately chose breaking over pointe shoes, she still has a lot of know-how to impart, which she’s offering up at Sunday afternoon ballet/ modern dance classes at Wise Fool New Mexico. “I was 20 when I started my first dance company, and my goal was to have a studio New Mexicans could be proud of,” she tells SFR. “That went south and I focused more on breaking, and then the pandemic hit, but now we’re here in 2022, and I’m really happy to provide a dance class for Wise Fool—through the whole pandemic, I realized there’s a new era of dance in Santa Fe, and hopefully now we can have more momentum, because I think I might currently be the only modern dance teacher in Santa Fe.” Avila further says her weekly class is geared toward all ages, all experience levels and all body types. For now, she notes, most of her students are adults, but she’ll gladly open up the ranks to anyone.
“The reason I like to reach out with modern dance is because you get to explore the beauty and the ugly, and then you realize the ugly is beautiful,” she says. “This class...explores how human movement is art—just you waving your arm can be art— so while I like to open with technique, to focus on body conditioning, I believe that once you know the rules, you get to break the rules.” This is where Avila’s hip-hop background comes into play, and you won’t need any special gear, clothing or footwear for the class—even if Avila and her husband, Tyrone “Faro” Clemons, recently helped design a shoe for the Dyzee Threadz Sneaker Company specifically for breaking. “The other part of the class is about breaking the rules and exploring our movement through things like improv exercises,” Avila concludes. “This is for all people, all levels.” (Alex De Vore) MODERN DANCE/BALLET WITH ALE 5 pm Sunday, March 27. $18-$22 Wise Fool New Mexico 1131 Siler Road B, (505) 992-2588

With author and former state Sen. Dede Feldman
Talk to former state Sen. Dede Feldman for a few minutes, and you’ll know she’s not your usual politician. A 16-year Democratic representative for Albuquerque’s North Valley from 1996-2012, her post-legislative career has been aimed at teaching New Mexicans the ins and outs of political life with all its faults and virtues, and her new political memoir, Ten More Doors: Politics and the Path to Change, is available at Collected Works Bookstore and Coffeehouse and Garcia Street Books now. Feldman chatted with SFR about her campaigning days and inspirations before her talk and book signing at the Placitas Community Library this Saturday (7 pm Saturday, March 26. Free. 453 Hwy 165, Placitas, (505) 867-3355). (Riley Gardner) You write about the feelings of empathy for everyday people in your district you gained from your days campaigning. How much have the lives of your former constituents shaped you into the person you are today? It was such a privilege—and a struggle—to knock and ask people what their concerns were, and I got an earful. I got to see inside their homes. When they open the door, you get a picture of their lives behind that door. That was transformational for me. I want to convey that to other people who are running for office or trying to make change, whether it be journalism or teaching or a small agricultural enterprise. If you don’t ask, if you don’t knock on doors, people can’t say yes or open that door. That was a lesson for me. The ethnic nature of my district is more like Santa Fe, including traditional Hispanic families and Anglos. This area has been solidly Democratic for years, with a very high voter turnout level and civic engagement. I used to talk to my fellow senators, many who’d never hear a peep from their constituents, but mine were very knowledgeable about what was going on. They called because they needed things, like behavioral health services or drug addiction help. That’s what this book is about. My neighborhood is a working class neighborhood, where I settled in 1976. It

crafted me both into the public servant and person I am. I learned to be a steward of the land, to be tolerant of different viewpoints and cultures and different income levels. If it wasn’t for the beauty of the land, I don’t know if I would’ve entered public service. You still go door to door even now to help campaigns. What are some of the big changes you’ve seen since campaigning in the ‘90s and today—outside of obvious tech considerations? I’m a believer in retail politics, like former Gov. Bruce King. It happens on a personto-person basis, and less so over the email and the internet. To a certain degree, campaigns have become dominated by email blasts and online fundraising, and so the message changes to fit the medium. A short blurb can make it more divisive—faceto-face talks bring out much more. Today, conflict is magnified. That’s a big change. As a campaigner, you could see trends developing over a 20-year period, like the ceding of [campaign control] to outside experts and consultants. There are so many consultants wanting to be hired or hired for you by the party organizations to craft a message based off what sells; a smart marketing approach, but it diminishes the kind of campaign I love and I wrote about in this book. Campaigns were community creations with a sense of spontaneity and synchronicity when groups of people worked together in a contest against opposition. I was going out and looking for votes, and in turn I found this community out there. Your memoir chronicles your life and career. In your time in office, what did you learn about your community, and New Mexico as a whole, that you didn’t entirely know before? I learned so much there, it was like getting thrust into graduate level courses in state history, fears, assets and people. Learning about different sectional concerns was a great gift for me. The main thing I learned was that change takes a long time, especially when you’re in a Western conservative state, in terms of the Legislature still being dominated by rural interests. That makes change more difficult, particularly when you’re operating in a structure set up in 1912 to ensure change comes slowly. Rural interests were threatened by long sessions, so they made them short. That was their time when they didn’t have to be out in the fields. It was embedded in the constitution our Legislature would be a citizen legislature, the idea being the butcher and baker coming together and not being paid. Truth is, that’s a formula for conflict-of-interest and unprofessional, inefficient lawmaking, but since it’s embedded in the constitution, it needs to be taken to the people for change. We can’t deal with our problems in 30- or 60-day sessions, and there’s a growing traction for a modernized Legislature these days.

“I like to work the way things feel,” Marwan explains. “Tumbling from one page to the other is kind of how it felt.” Telling her story in picture book form came naturally to Marwan, because pairing text and image has always been a part of her process. She usually begins with a line or two of text, and develops that idea in her paintings. Marwan’s online portfolio Two Desert Illustrations brims with whimsy. Pigeons in party hats appear, uninvited (“Whenever I forget my studio window open, my toughest critics come in and have a party”), flowers bloom from the heads of five men (“Patrilineally not fitting in”) and a man has a curious encounter (“He took his boat out at night because the water was as still as olive oil. Alone, he was startled by a swimming cow”). It feels like flipping through someone’s journal, only that someone has an infinitely colorful and deftly wrought inner world. There’s something delightfully voyeuristic in the unexplained nature of it all. Each painting functions as a micro-fiction unto itself. The challenge, Marwan says, is in arranging those fragments into a cohesive, resonant story. “I’ve been looking at picture books as a sort of poetic retelling,” she says—a retelling
Zahra Marwan’s Where the Butterflies Fill the Sky tells a challenging but vital story for today’s youths B Y A N N A B E L L A FA R M E R @boeinbrief
according to Marwan. She recalls a librarian who said Butterflies isn’t for children because they won’t know who Saddam Hussein is. “Ask any Kuwaiti child,” Marwan points out. “These are real lived experiences for people.” Such criticism hits particularly hard, she says, because of what statelessness continues to mean for Kuwaiti children. She remembers how, while working on the final art for her book, two stateless children in Kuwait committed suicide. It’s absurd, she says, to assume children couldn’t understand her book. “What kid’s gonna understand?” she queries. “Well, maybe that one who knows how hard things are going to get as he grows older, or how hard they already are.” And though Marwan is still impacted by statelessness, especially when borders were closed due to the pandemic, she counts herself lucky. “I feel so grateful to have grown up in such different places, and that we came to a place where people treat me like I belong,” she says. The parallels between New Mexico and Kuwait might not seem apparent on the surface, but in her author’s note, Marwan writes about attending public school in New Mexico: “I was taught to be proud of my heritage—maybe because so many of my neighbors had strong Indigenous and Hispano roots and had been subject to so much cultural oppression themselves. I lost the ability to live among my family, language and culture because of government rules, but I carry with me a constant sense of home.”
COURTESY BLOOMSBURY CHILDREN’S BOOKS
Z
ahra Marwan’s debut picture book, Where Butterflies Fill the Sky (March 29, Bloomsbury), is part autobiography, part children’s book, part artist’s book and wholly captivating. Through bittersweet text and delicate, playful watercolor illustrations, it tells the story of how Marwan’s family left Kuwait for New Mexico when she was 7 years old to make a new home in Albuquerque. Marwan was considered stateless in Kuwait: Though her mother is a citizen, her father’s family missed out on registering as citizens when Kuwait became an independent country in 1961. And because Kuwaiti citizenship is patrilineal, Marwan and her siblings aren’t citizens either. That meant they faced both open discrimination and discriminatory laws. Stateless people weren’t allowed to attend public schools, go to college, access health care, get married or leave the country for fear they wouldn’t be allowed back. “Their only career options were working low-wage jobs or joining the army,” Marwan explains in an author’s note. Her parents wanted a better future for their family, so they packed up and moved to Albuquerque, an experience that was profoundly disorienting for Marwan. “I used to wait outside for a bus to take me back to my grandpa’s house,” she tells SFR. “I had no idea what was going on.” But it wasn’t all grim, she says. Marwan has fond memories of how that early sense of confusion blended into a mix of magical thinking and reality that continues to influence her art. “I used to think a boy in my class could translate my thoughts for some reason,” she says. “I was a really weird kid.” To wit, in Butterflies, Marwan’s family journey is represented by a two-page spread that shows her and other members tumbling into the sky, from the shores of Kuwait to the desert of New Mexico.
not bound by the literal; Butterflies has a poetic quality in the spare effervescence of its text and illustrations inspired by Persian miniatures. It operates under the surreal, expansive illogic of childhood, where the real and imagined coexist, and Marwan weaves symbolic elements of her Kuwaiti identity throughout the book: Two bulls watch over her as she sleeps and follow her through the book, a calming, protective presence. The symbology is inspired by “art from the ancient Dilmun civilization found in Kuwait and Failaka Island among ancient Greek ruins,” Marwan notes, and says the bulls represent her grandmother and uncle, the latter of whom was killed during the Iraqi invasion when he was only 33—the book doesn’t pander, which shows a respect for children’s understanding that similar books do not. “I’m not particularly fond of the very commercial ones that are what people think kids need to see,” Marwan says with a laugh. But not everyone agrees, and the book has already been criticized for being too mature,

Shontez Morris leaves legacy of light BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
M
y friends are likely tired of hearing the story after countless retellings this week, but it’s how I want to remember my friend Shontez “Taz” Morris: While driving along Marcy Street in downtown Santa Fe some months ago, a friend of mine remarked, “Ohmygod—it’s Taz!” Rolling down the window, we began shouting stuff about how we love her, and there, in the street, Shontez spent nearly a minute screaming compliments and practically dancing. In that moment, like so many others, Taz was pure kindness and light. I will miss her dearly. Morris died at 42 in the wee hours of Thursday, March 17 from complications related to asthma. According to Kate Kennedy, a longtime friend and co-worker at Security Asset Solutions, Morris wasn’t feeling well during a security shift at a Meow Wolf concert earlier in the night. Later, at home, Morris called 911 when she started having trouble breathing, but paramedics didn’t make it in time. Morris had largely recovered from a bout with COVID-19 a few months ago, yet her asthma had worsened afterward, Kennedy said. Morris grew up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn where, her brother Andrew Morris tells SFR, she attended the

+ MARVELOUS THEMES - A BIT OVER-STRETCHED
From the get-go, it’s worth pointing out The Long Walk is not designed for general audiences. That’s not to say it’s unreachable, incomprehensible or a series of long, pointless montages. It’s a methodical film that refuses to explain itself, that comes together in a connect-the-dots fashion which, for many, will be too opaque. Those with an interest in how Buddhism can intertwine with cinema, however, will find much to ponder. The Long Walk follows an unnamed old man (Yannawoutthi Chanthalungsy) and young boy (Por Silatsa), both of whom can talk to spirits. One in particular (Noutnapha Soydara) joins them during long walks along forested roads for decades on end, though it never speaks a word. When numerous women go missing, authorities tap the unnamed man for assistance, but he might be more interested in undoing the flaws of his past with help from his spirit friend. In a strike against the Asian Orientalism that continues to plague Western filmmaking, Laotian-born director Mattie Do builds her world from everyday Laotian anxieties: Namely, the belief that bodies not properly cremated bear spirits which find themselves stuck wandering the Earth. Deeper Buddhist themes reflecting life, death and rumination make for a sturdy, if 24

With all the seriousness one can muster and without a hint of sarcasm, I will tell you that Disney’s Cheaper By The Dozen reboot/remake is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. To say it sucks would be to insult air itself; not only does it eviscerate whatever promise Disney+ may have had in original programming, it’s a reminder to keep this service at the top of your streaming service cost-cutting list. In its first major fault, the Baker family has nine kids—not the dozen the title promises in a seeming attack against the entire premise of the original 1948 Frank Bunker Gilbreth Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey memoir from which these repeated films are inspired. Nine! In a never-ending setup, Paul (Zach Braff, who ought to be criminally prosecuted for this role) invents a special sauce out of his family-run breakfast café where he and wife Zoë (Gabrielle Union) use their children as forced labor. The sauce makes the multi-racial fam a fortune, so they move to a wealthy Los Angeles enclave where questions of systemic racism and living authentically come into

play. There are antics in-between, but it feels like the length of a Lord of the Rings extended edition marathon. Is Cheaper By the Dozen a parody of the online left’s checklist for diversity points, or an honest attempt at something wholesome? It doesn’t matter. It is a filthy movie not because of its aspirations, but because of its dark underbelly. Expect jokes made at the expense of people who attend trade schools, or therapy and towards gay people (don’t worry, Disney remembered not to include them in this diversity training video). Expect elitist trash posing as progressiveism that simultaneously admonishes corporate practices only to start flooding the screen with astonishing product placement. Every other minute a corporate brand flies across the screen. It’s like a 57-year-old man studied modern teen culture without ever meeting one. The characters
pessimistic, undercurrent. Here, the living aren’t frightened by ghosts so much as they are the more earthbound fears they illicit—if a dissatisfied ghost can be stuck on Earth for eternity, is there a point in striving for a type of perfection already disproved by the very existence of these stuck spirits? It’s too easy to call The Long Walk a horror film or a psychological trip. It’d have to be stretched, stuffed and disjointed if you wanted it to fit into more mainstream horror definitions, or as I like to call it, the old stab-stab/jump-jump. Do’s opus doesn’t fit neatly into any genre, in fact, and a viewer can’t expect any coddling from her. Her elements of Asian futurism are not deeply crafted (everyone in this future has a microchip installed) but they do emphasize a common misconception that tech and tradition are mutually exclusive. But then, The Long Walk is a film of ideas—and what a success it is. (RG) Center for Contemporary Arts and VoD, NR, 115 min.

are not human, they are formless blobs, but the worst offense is the pretense that racism exists as a unique trend to high-income communities and not where the “real people” live. You can’t make a project so obsessed with social justice when no one involved actually believes in what they are saying— or when the studio doesn’t bother for an attempt at quality. We know Disney is a corporate crash grab company, but rarely has it pumped out such a disgusting attempt at generating good PR and, thus, subscribers. Even the firm believers in film preservation should consider this version of Cheaper By The Dozen worthy of destruction.
like these movies are for those of us who were kids at the time, particularly when we don’t have any of our own. Still, the animation juggernaut’s newest full-length, Turning Red, which just dropped on the Disney+ streaming service, kinda-sorta recaptures that magic from all those years ago, even if it’s a relatively elementary allusion to our changing bodies that also, despite being set in Canada, somehow misses out on making Degrassi references. In Turning Red, we meet Toronto kid Meilin (Rosalie Chiang), who is newly 13 and ready to rumble with her best buds circa 2002; when boy bands roamed the Earth and flip phones, Tamagotchis and overalls were all somehow cool. Mei struggles under the weight of her mother’s expectations (hats off to Sandra Oh as the overbearing but loving mom), but she’s still a killer student and fun friend who makes time for everything, which includes lending a hand at the family temple—the oldest in Toronto, we learn. Things seem pretty OK (which is the default Pixar starting point) until Mei discovers a family curse that finds her family’s young women transforming into gigantic red pandas whenever they get too emotional... something about an ancient curse, but really just a stand-in for puberty. As Mei comes to terms with her new panda form, the infamous boy band 4-Town announces North American dates, and while older folks might

find the idea of stakes that come in the form of a stadium pop show laughable, it’s life or death for Mei, as it would be for any 8th grader. Cue hijnks. Director Domee Shi (who won an Oscar for her short Bao in 2018) finds ludicrously enjoyable common ground for both kids and adults here, and even better, she never shies away from frank talk about things like crushes, periods and complicated familial relationships. This is Disney, though, so some things fall short, from toothless jokes that don’t quite land and nods to queer culture that never come out and say so. Still, Chiang is brilliant and relatable as the evolving Mei, and that we get an entire film dedicated to, created by and starring Asian people ultimately feels like a step in the right direction. Oh, and Mei’s panda form is absurdly adorable. Toss in some songs by Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas, the kind of painstaking animation we expect from Pixar and numerous funny-adjacent early-aught moments and you’ve got something that’s almost groundbreaking. If Pixar would trust its audiences to roll with a little more maturity, Turning Red could have been a generational high point. As it stands, it’s fun and mostly funny and exactly the kind of thing elder millennials and their kids can enjoy together. (Alex De Vore) Disney+, PG, 100 min.

SFR CLASSIFIEDS MIND BODY SPIRIT PSCYHICS Rob Brezsny
Week of March 23rd
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Carib people from Surinam quote their mysterious Snake Spirit as follows: “I am the force of the spirit of the lightning eel, the thunder ax, the stone. I am the force of the firefly; thunder and lightning have I created.” I realize that what I’m about to say may sound far-fetched, but I suspect you will have access to powers that are comparable to the Snake Spirit’s in the coming weeks. In fact, your state of being reminds me of how Aries poet Marge Piercy expressed her quests for inspiration: “When I work, I am pure as an angel tiger, and clear is my eye and hot my brain and silent all the whining grunting piglets of the appetites.”
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s the start of the Listening Season for you Libras. I propose a full-on celebration of listening: a three-week Holiday of Paying Close Attention to Important and Interesting Words Being Said in Your Vicinity. Make yourself a magnet for useful revelations. Be alert for the rich information that becomes available as you show the world you would love to know more of its secrets. For inspiration, read these quotes. 1. You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time. —M. Scott Peck. 2. Learn to listen. Opportunity sometimes knocks very softly. —my friend Jenna. 3. Listening is being able to be changed by the other person. —Alan Alda. 4. If you want to be listened to, you should put in time listening. —Marge Piercy. 5. Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold. —Karl A. Menninger.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “It’s always too early to quit,” wrote cheerful author Norman Vincent Peale, who first popularized the idea of “positive thinking.” I’m an optimistic person myself, but I think his advice is excessively optimistic. On some occasions, it’s wise to withdraw your energy from a project or relationship you’ve been working on. Struggling to find relevance and redemption may reach a limit. Pushing ever onward might be fruitless and even harmful. However, I don’t think that now is one of those times for you, Taurus. According to my reading of the astrological omens, it is too early for you to quit. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “You can be as earnest and ridiculous as you need to be, if you don’t attempt it in isolation.” So says author Barbara Kingsolver. She adds, “The ridiculously earnest are known to travel in groups. And they are known to change the world.” In my view, this is perfect advice for you right now. If you and the members of your crew focus on coordinating your efforts, you could accomplish blazing amazements in the coming weeks. You may solve riddles that none of you has been able to decipher alone. You can synergize your efforts in such a way that everyone’s individual fate will be lifted up. CANCER (June 21-July 22): About 200 years ago, poet William Wordsworth wrote, “Every great and original writer must himself create the taste by which he is to be relished.” Now I’ve come up with a variation on that wisdom: “Every great and original soul must herself create the taste by which she is to be understood and appreciated.” That’s what I hope you will work on in the coming weeks, Cancerian: fostering an ambiance in which you can be even better understood and appreciated. You now have extra power to teach people how to value you and get the best out of you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I hate housework!” complained comedian Joan Rivers. “You make the beds, you do the dishes, and six months later you have to start all over again.” I wish I could give you a six-month reprieve from having to attend to those chores, Leo. In fact, I’d love it if I could permanently authorize you to avoid all activities that distract you from thinking big thoughts and feeling rich emotions and pursuing expansive adventures. But I’m afraid I can only exempt you from the nagging small stuff for just the next three weeks or so—four, tops. After that, you’ll have to do the dishes and make the beds again. But for the foreseeable future: Focus your energy on thinking big thoughts and feeling rich emotions and pursuing expansive adventures! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A British plumber named Kev Crane worked for weeks to install a new bathroom at a private home. As he toiled, he passed the time by singing his favorite songs. He didn’t know that the homeowner, Paul Conneally, was the owner of a music label. So he was surprised and delighted when Conneally offered him a deal to record an album in the label’s studio. There may be a comparable development in your life during the coming weeks, Virgo. You could be noticed in new ways for what you do well. Your secret or unknown talents may be discovered or revealed. You might get invitations to show more of who you really are. Be alert for such opportunities.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Worry doesn’t count as preparation,” writes author Lily Akerman. That sounds wise, but I don’t think it’s true in all cases. At its best, worrying may serve as a meditation that helps us analyze potential problems. It prompts us to imagine constructive actions we might take to forestall potential disruptions—and maybe even prevent them from erupting into actual disruptions. I bring these thoughts to your attention, Scorpio, because now is an excellent time to engage in this kind of pondering. I declare the next three weeks to be your Season of Productive Worrying. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If I had my way, you’d be a connoisseur of kisses in the coming weeks. You’d make it your intention to expand your repertoire of kissing styles and ask willing partners to do the same. You would give and receive unwieldy kisses, brave kisses, and mysterious kisses. You would explore foolish, sublime kisses and sincere but inscrutable kisses and awakening kisses that change the meaning of kisses altogether. Are you interested in pursuing this challenge? It will be best accomplished through unhurried, playful, luxurious efforts. There’s no goal except to have experimental fun. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days,” wrote author Flannery O’Connor. Her observation may be a bit of an exaggeration, but not much. And I’m offering it to you now, as you begin a phase when you can glean many new teachings about your childhood—insights that could prove handy for a long time to come. I encourage you to enjoy a deep dive into your memories of your young years. They have superb secrets to divulge. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected,” said author William Plomer. I agree with that. And I’m pleased to let you know that in the coming weeks, you will have more of this power to connect than you’ve had in a long time. I hope you will use it to link your fortunes to influences that inspire you. I hope you will wield it to build bridges between parts of your world that have been separate or alienated until now. And I hope you will deploy your enhanced capacity for blending and joining as you weave at least one magnificent new creation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I use my intelligence to discover more ways of appreciating you,” author Piscean Anaïs Nin told her lover Henry Miller. In the coming weeks, I recommend you activate a similar ambition. Now is a time when you can enhance your close relationships with important allies by deepening your insight into them. What magic is at play within them that you haven’t fully recognized before? How could you better see and understand their mysteries? PS: You may be pleased when your deepening vision of them prompts them to extend the same favor toward you. Homework: What non-sexual experience or adventure do you lust for? FreeWillAstrology.com
