A newborn fist for a heart and fishes start from my eyes
There was a beautiful foggy view over the Charles from the Red Line this afternoon: mist and cloud making up for melted snow.
I slept in two uneasy shifts and had peculiar dreams: like a cross between a supernatural long game and a beloved turn-of-the-century school story, classical references everywhere. Nobody turned out to be Sappho, but metaphysically the sculptor doing neoclassical portraits of Greek-reading girls (I remember them as white-ground and red-figure vase paintings) maybe should have been. Some kind of tragedy between two of the masters. Queerness everywhere, it might go without saying. I remember moments even more than scenes, flash-framed: an archaeological dig beneath the right of way of a disused railway line, a lamplit picnic after dark, two men embracing in a classroom empty except for a chalkboard and a high cold wash of winter light. Nobody changed shape where I could see, though one of the girls was composing her own Metamorphoses. I don't know if it ended before I woke up.
I am about to chop an inordinate amount of dried and candied fruit. Then I am going to light candles. Chag sameach, all.
