there is a rash on my left wrist
a rash on my left hip
a sore inside my mouth
is this from the oil i’ve been using on my body?
the sea?
the food i’ve been eating?
lots of raw tomatoes… often makes my mouth break out.
today is the new moon.
we don’t leave the house…
but to walk on the beach a bit
step over the jellyfish
the dead bird
the oil slicks…
today is grey
and it’s raining a lot
we stay in doors
jeff sleeps a lot
i write a lot
read a lot
work on my web page
we have rabbit for dinner
Pavolina made it for us
it’s lovely
Tasos eats near us
and we talk about how the world used to be
her grew up with no electricity
he shows us the tools his mother used to use to make clothes
later
jeff says he wishes that was his father
any father who grew up without electricity would be a better father
we watch the other DVD jeff bought: Serendipity
it’s so terrible i have to walk away from it
we snuggle a while
but that also feels terrible
just a floating gloaming that doesn’t do anything or go anywhere
and isn’t pleasant
maybe it’s just me
i’ve been drinking wine all day..
when i try to go to sleep
i toss and turn and turn and turn
so i get up
and watch the rest of Serendipity
23 is the magic number
it’s all by chance
when you die
the greeks only have one question:
Did he have Passion?
