Beguiled

After the Zoom, South Beach -

Pearled with seawater -

Beguiled by young Amazons -

The outside

I'm watching Event Horizon -

The dark is inside the Piranesi spaceship - 

The horror has come from the outside -

Heavy

I'm reading Heavy -

They shoot me when I fly - 

I have abundance -

I breath wounded air -

August 2024

The fear

That neck - 

That shaven head -

Like a thug in a Grosz cartoon -

The fear his time has come again -

The last game

The house quiet - 

Anne closing her eyes - 

Young voices lingering in the garden -

The last game with Wallace still set out on the table -

Throwing my years away

Playing Race Around Europe with Jane and Wallace - 

The house full of joyous noise - 

Throwing my years away - 

My bones light as air -

I must read The Cherry Orchard

I must read The Cherry Orchard - 

It feels like I'm in the play -

I've finished the Quilmes in my chilled glass - 

Apples are falling from the tree - 

Paul looks severe, telling his story -

Anne wears a linen dress - 

Jane remembers her garden - 

Our house is a dacha in a Chekov summer -
