So here I am once again. Past midnight, eluding sleep. In my mind’s eye, I see my friends, alive as ever: Johnny, whirling with Boy Kelly to Bronski Beat in his living room, his pretty blue eyes perfectly clear; Aldyn, standing at the podium in Berlin, offering lessons from long-term survivors; Oui, a lithe, blond, prancing fairy with a dogged spirit, haranguing the boys of the Marais to take a condom, join a demo; Assotto, flamboyant lover of vodou and Toussaint L’Ouverture and James Baldwin, reciting his gay poetry in Kreyol, a rare, proud Haitian masisi (fag). Here now is Kiki, diva lesion liberator, carefully applying a cleansing facial at night, channeling his inner Crawford spirit to compose an editorial to Drumpf and Marine Le Pen.
Dear Fools, it begins …
I hear them as clearly and loudly as yesterday. I know what they’d say, eyeing the uncertain future we face, so I’ll give them the last word:
Fuck Death and Don’t Forget Us.
Dance and Love Each Other.
Be So Gay and Make Us Proud.
Don’t Let the Motherfuckers Win.
ACT UP! Fight Back! Fight Hate!
— Anne-christine d’Adesky, The Pox Lover: An Activist’s Decade in New York and Paris (2017).
