Se Dice de Mi

Nieblas del Riachuelo

Tango name--Mists of the Riachuelo--danced in a shabby hall somewhere in Buenos Aires Sur. Plainness of the room, low tables along one wall, two dark chairs side by side. A gathering place for waiters, business people, family from afar. Before the banquet--or just after, perhaps, well into the night. Guía del Casamiento--a guide to marriage-- framed by an old tv screen, gunmetal and gray... Alert, nothing fancy, maybe only for themselves...

El Otro Cielo (Noah)

El Otro Cielo

Following Cortázar, or, more properly, not following Cortázar, for who needs to follow Cortázar--a state of mind, perhaps, more than a place--wandering through the dusty arcades--el Pasaje Güemes, o La Galerie Vivienne--as if the details of a French metropolis could be somehow transposed onto the waiting breast of Buenos Aires...

Rather a morning, with three crows...

The Commisar of Fowl

A barnyard in Smolensk, the thick Russian autumn--muddy paths, windy trees. A brown cast to the air--as if mushrooms were melting, gryby--an essential word, from the soil, ancient Slavic rites, behold.

Kampinos, the forest just outside of Warszawa. Half an hour on a commuter train, a refuge during the war. We met there once--also for mushrooms. Grzyby. Again, those same sounds, the "g" from down below, then softened--"rz"--made hesitant, ambiguous...
