Cerulean blues, jade greens, soft gradients of grey, loom, sway and arch over us. Dwarfing us, reminding us that we are minute, only for this moment, only for each other.

“Dark of the invisible moon. The nights now only slightly less black. By day the banished sun circles the earth like a grieving mother with a lamp.” ~ Cormac McCarthy

Shadow has always been a place where one’s most obscure fears lurk in wait. We install night lights, lamps, street lights as protective sentinels.

I began to look at the things and places that we find necessary to protect from the night, a time of danger, the black arts, unidentifiable strangers waiting in the dark.

A cycle of friends, black sand beach, free-pour whiskey, safeway cupcake birthday cakes and Otis Redding songs on the karaoke night line-up, make for a good time.

Some of the best times yet… Happy birthday, BT

I got tired of effeminate poetry

and subordination

now I am strong and not a bit meek

I roll tobacco as a bearded Turk

with honey, mistletoe and plum brandy

(umorila sam se od zenskaste poezije

i podredivanja

sada sam jaka i nimalo meka

motam duhan kao bradati Turcin

rakijama od meda, imele i sljiva)

~ Irena Delonga

Meandering through the night with friends in tow, bottles of wine deep in coat pockets. On the fringes of Le Marais, last nights feasting and hanging off window sills wreathed in curlicues of smoke, photography on the mind and the lips.

They elevated me from all littleness of feeling; and although they did not remove my grief, they subdued and tranquilized it. In some degree, also, they diverted my mind from the thoughts over which it had brooded for the last month. I retired to rest at night; my slumbers, as it were, waited on and ministered to by the assemblance of grand shapes which I had contemplated during the day. They congregated around me; the unstained snowy mountain top, the glittering pinnacle, the pine woods, and ragged bare ravine, the eagle, soaring amidst the clouds – they all gathered around me and bade me be at peace.

~ “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley
