They Walked on a Tightrope to the Sun

My blog is a book that can only be read in the dark. My life is books and dresses and poetry and learning and debate and beards and my cottage. Maybe one day I'll tell you more about my existence. "We walk in swirls of human beings, we are cuffed around kindly, among soft tyrannies, everyone chatters excitedly in the foreign tongue. "No man is an island." We gain strength from "them," but also from ourselves. From what is inside that the other person can't see. That which can only meet itself. The innermost paradox, the underground garage flowers, the vent towards the good dark. A drink that bubbles in empty glasses. An amplifier that magnifies silence. A path that grows over after every step. A book that can only be read in the dark." -Tomas Trastromer

If after I die, people want to write my biography, there is nothing simpler. They only need two dates: the date of my birth and the date of my death. Between one and another, every day is mine.

Polar Vortex is coming back with a vengeance tomorrow and continuing through the end of the month.

Time to stock up, stay put, and imbibe people.

Every city has a sex and an age which have nothing to do with demography. Rome is feminine. So is Odessa. London is a teenager, an urchin, and, in this, hasn’t changed since the time of Dickens. Paris, I believe, is a man in his twenties in love with an older woman.
