It is a double moon to me.

Just returned from a week-long scurry across snowcaps and golden wheat fields, primordial, nearly lunar terrains, ringed spaces, sheaves and stalks, to and from my parents' Mississippi home base. The week was punctuated by slothful weathers, a half-drunken lethargy and general fuck-all attitude, 99 cent frozen margaritas, military presses, lucid heat visions. A lot of television, shows about alien contact and the manufacturing of sandpaper. Bible stories about golden cities made of clear glass. It was Revelations. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. Jasper and pearls.

The South is an irreverent leech that bleeds you of all motivation to do anything. So you learn to embrace that pillow of lack, zero space. Your weak will, fuming. 

It's nice to be back in Portland. Flying into this town, scanning across the blanket of sleeping white volcanoes, une ville blanche, is one of the most beautiful experiences. I've been puddling through Simone Weil's biography and two of Virginia Woolf's novels, inspired by SPH's revisitations. I am a slow reader who chews on sentences. 

This weekend, I am off to the anemones. Double moons and slippery speech.
