Summary:

Maybe it’s also the sound of Church bells, suddenly so overwhelming that Sunday morning. Church bells and, all over the neighborhood, posters of Captain America. Flags fly at half mast. Maybe that’s why she can’t abide the idea of a Catholic funeral for Bucky. Flags and posters and songs, all so loud: Captain America was Brooklyn’s son.

Well, Bucky was her son, and only hers.

I wrote this after my grandmother’s funeral. Her brother, for whom I am named, died in France during WW II.  His mother always insisted he had “run away” and was not dead but hiding.  That’s as personal as I’m going to get here.

Hello friends would you like to get your heart cut out expertly with a scalpel today
