Finding Eidothea

New Orleans , 2010

Oh Annie -
I am writing in the dark now. All lights off.

The Music is On.

From the window I can see the busy lights. The street is full of people passing by. I am a stranger to them but to me they are all so familiar. I see them and I can smell of their past and their future. 

As of their present, it is uncovered in front of me. I live it more than they do just by paying attention to it from the window.

Finally the shouts and the murmurs from Europe are over and the lady in her pride is quite now. But there is so much sound around. So much of the good sound and shout. It is the type of sound we like the most; the Blues with a rock twist.

I read a story at the Delta of Venus by Anais Nin and it goes like this: “I am not in love with any woman. I never have been. I am in love with my work. With you I was in great danger. Because we could talk together, because we were so near each other in so many ways, I stayed with you too long. I forgot my work”

Come back home “Amphetamine Annie” so we get a drink together by the window.
We can even dance this time. 

It is alive. It is all still alive inside me my dear.

{I miss} your talks & sounds,

Garia
