The french make jealous lovers
This is my theory. You see I have just had my plans changed and I am going to be returning to New Orleans for a few days. The reason for this I am convinced is that the French make jealous lovers. From my first glimpses of NOLA in the moonlight I fell in love. And [...]

The Ritual of Café au Lait
Sun glares off the pavement. Christy slides her hand into the pocket inside her purse, fingers moving past the crumpled gum wrappers and receipts. The keys bite into her hand, the cut-out edge roughly treats the fingers. She feels cool plastic and with a sad smile she pulls [...]

Love: a bedroom silhouette
Celery green paints the bedroom wall.
A curved headboard, grey green silk
Brass rivets outlining the edge
Fade in the background
Behind long brown hair
Falling gently over the shoulders.
The bangs long wisp over a smooth high forehead.
Sitting on geometric patterned comforter
Leftover from the sixties
A short sleeved sweater, striped
With emerald green, ruffles on the sleeve
underneath partly [...]

It is raining which puts me in a poetry mood, so grab a book or read this little stanza from the Man’ yoshu and curl up:
I will think of you, love,
On evenings when the gray mist
Rises above the rushes,
And chill sounds the voice
Of wild ducks crying.
