BERNIE KOWALSKI, it’s going to say: BELOVED AUNT. Sometimes she comes to me in dreams. She never looks good. Sometimes she’s wearing a dirty smock. Once she had on handcuffs. Once she was naked and dirty and this mean cat was clawing its way up her front. But every time it’s the same thing. “Some people get everything and I got nothing,” she says. “Why? Why did that happen?” Every time I say I don’t know.
