describe the illness, I’ll prescribe the cure

I got a virus on my phone

Trying to download some Burroughs

Truth is a monotonous vacation

La Rose De Fer

The city calls me. This time I have to answer, I can’t let the dream crack apart again.

I am terrified because everything will change. I am also excited by this.

The dream is weak, hardly alive, born too early. I cup the small thing in my hand and exhale— slowly, slowly breathing strength into it——

This dream I will nurse until it’s ready to walk, to lead me away from the life that shrinks around me

Ritual of sorrow begins,

I am alone, torn

Waiting for the end

Waiting to be reborn again

Terrifyingly anew

I hide from shadows that crawl

Along the littered, burned-out room of memory

I cast precious stones into the ashes

Hoping for communication and release

For a lost one’s finger to draw up in shape,

To show the direction I must go

Think you know my mind

As if my skull were glass

Broken in half

Bewildered

Just three months back in time, my eyes are different now. My ears remember— the calls of the elk children to their mothers, the bleating of the males into the tundra air. In sunset they gathered in the field, overtook the road.

I truly love this woman in all her flawed glory… she has such rage and beauty and tenderness and treachery. She truly is Aphrodite in the original, pre-simplified myths: both a love goddess and a goddess of death, a harbinger of beauty and pleasure and the black widow killer of love all at once.

Anaïs Nin only you can save me now…
