poem from friend
Posted on November 27, 2008
tebi je lako
jer ti imas mene
a sta sam zato
dobio
na kraju ces me ostaviti
ej to bi i blesav vidio
poneka ljubav mozda vrijedi bola
moja i tvoja vise ne
jer ti si samo trag u pijesku
gorka brazda koja nestane
danas otvaram oci
nakon svih ovih godina
niti ja voljeh tebe
nit si ti mene voljela
samo stara navika je ostala

The otters feed on sea urchins in the kelp forest.
Such delightful imagery conveyed within a simple statement of fact. It’s almost lyrical. Read the full story here.

Much has happened, and much is happening.
I’ve taken over a second-story flat in a two-family Victorian in the Nob Hill neighborhood of northwest Portland. I like it here. The course I charted in Marina, Croatia nearly a year ago has reached a state of completion in Portland, Oregon. I am planting my flag, and planning new adventures here and abroad.
I’ve been reading a lot lately. I haven’t pushed myself to work on my books as much for the last month or so. A necessary respite. It’s been wonderful absorbing and analyzing literary voices other than my own. I’ll let you know in detail about what I’m reading in other posts.
I had what looked to be a good writing gig with a new Portland food magazine. I even wrote an 1800-word feature for them. The publication folded before publishing the first issue. I am still owed a substantial kill fee. Clowns.
I’m cooking, of course. In a restaurant and at home. I have access to so many good ingredients within walking distance of home. The shopping in Nob Hill is really quite stellar. I can buy fresh octopus five blocks away.
I’m beginning to record music again, and to plot a small home studio configuration for the spare attic room. For my neighbors who may be reading this, it will be a quiet studio. No drums. No loud guitar amplifiers.
Things have normalized. I’m happy and healthy. I have a comfortable home again. Bliss is mine. What to do next? I think I’d like to have a small dinner party soon.
The computer is also back, so perhaps I’ll begin putting more at this blog and the others again.

It appears that the LCD screen on my laptop has died. If any of have tried to reach my by telephone, I can’t get to it. My telephone service comes via the internet, and I can’t log into my phone account without my laptop. I’ll be a little out of touch until I can get it repaired, so please contact me by email or the contact form at this website if you really need me.
I’ve been telling myself I need to spend less time in front of the computer…

Eventual cat and fox explosion in Tasmania? Well, I suppose it serves some purpose…
