quote 2018-03-16 16:18

Niemożność bycia otwartym i szczerym w jakimkolwiek stopniu jest tak niszczycielska jak samo kłamstwo; tajemnice i oszustwo wreszcie podkopią stabilność i trwałość związku.

I'll think of a damn title later

When I know that the grave is empty,
Absence eviscerates me,
And I dwell in a cavernous, constant
'Horror vacui'.

- Donald Hall, "Advent", The Back Chamber

Peeking Over My Shoulder

"He saw something small and dark just off the riverbank, something that seemed to give off heat although the water was cold. He reached for it and the vision burst, and though he shut his eyes and burrowed deeper into the blankets and the sheets he could not bring it back. Finally he stopped trying with his mind and started trying with his mouth. 'Walking by the river,' he sang, 'feeling all alone. I don't have a single thing to call my very own.' And suddenly, he did."

Page 8 of Please Step Back by Ben Greenman. Last few lines of the first section: "Fade In."

Ladybug's Doodles

Back Yard

Shine on, O moon of summer.
Shine to the leaves of grass, catalpa and oak,
All silver under your rain to-night.

An Italian boy is sending songs to you tonight from an accordion.

A Polish boy is out with his best girl;
They marry next month;
tonight they are throwing you kisses.

An old man next door is dreaming over a sheen
That sits in a cherry tree in his back yard.

The clocks say I must go-
I stay here sitting on the back porch
drinking white thoughts you rain down.

Shine on, O moon,
Shake out more and more silver changes.

Carl Sandburg was born in 1878 and this poem has the word catalpa in it. I read this poem and wondered what a catalpa was. I went and found the following picture.
