the baroness redecorates

listen: the four seasons, op. 8/4, RV 297, "winter" - antonio vivaldi
mood: the pastness of past



caught up with the mean reds, mostly means reading, too much thinking of thoughts, cold tea & stomping around the flat after midnight. abandoned books & hot chocolate in the library lobby; all the vagaries & grand, sweeping gestures of procrastination. i am finished book one of war & peace.

yesterday, i walked to my favourite house on tower road in the rain & blustering (under the streetlamps, swirling birds or leaves or moths). i stood for a while beside dark windows, damp & full with presentiment that in a year's time, i don't know where (and in that moment, the certainty that it cannot be the impalpable here). to be sometimes so windblown & without direction.

so we sit at your kitchen table, eating disappointment & the thick-skinned clementines until our mouths begin to burn.
