Saturday afternoon, its raking light on the
Saturday afternoon, its raking light on the buildings nearby and Patripassian's remote choirs triumphed over my serenity. I sense persistently being closer from the sky in this part of the world. I see lengthy waves washing over in silence. Time is slipping by before my very eyes, and beauty overwhelms me... radiating from a hidden source. Times are agitated. All this pressure, all these so tight schedules, all those changes to come so quickly, this frightening wide open horizon, this exhaustion beyond exhaustion... I feel a bit in pieces inside, completely submerged by this beauty. The truth is... The truth is that I am somewhat surprised to recover feelings, and I wish I wouldn't; I am unable to get anything done, put in the most confused state. There is too much light, it feels like approaching spring, emptying rooms, releasing schedules, and should I look like someone who prefers architecture to people, leaving places. And I am unavoidably and slowly slipping into a long-forgotten condition I shouldn't dare admitting to myself... Stop my heart beating so strong, stop myself breathing so fast...
There are people I miss. S. is gone for moving for weeks now and I can't hold back any longer all the things I have to tell, missing our night-long conversations, and... and to such a striking point I did not expect before. There's an old friend whose recent troubles I have no explanation about, remaining helpless before what's running out of my reach. I wish we could sit around beers and talk for hours, as in some good old days which never existed. I wish we could communicate at all. But you wouldn't talk to me... You never talked to me...
There are some people whom I begin not to miss, which is pretty annoying.
There is lastly a presence I consistently feel surrounded with. The truth is that I am smoldering; I doubt it is a good thing. No sleep tonight, again; I'm off to work again.
