( me / via )

"Before embarking on my journey to the magnificent Portuguese capital, I made sure to read this poet’s masterpiece, a guidebook called Lisbon – What the Tourist Should See."

"Word of the Day, again, is 'malversation' (16th century): corrupt or fraudulent behaviour by someone in a position of power." --@susie_dent

Field of bubbles.

“Xanadu, the Gate Shattered”

Gossamer these days
And passing-bright, & also threatening rain;
And silent in the little things,
And full of raging fury for the rest.

My reach is a desire not to fall,
And i am ignorant how exactly far
This paradise of guns & shouting goes,
This neighbor & the gossamer that holds.

Silent, upon a peak in Darien.

(2004)
