the nevermore

halfway between
the other side of everywhere and a stone’s throw from here
is the void.
here, you may find me, if I choose to make myself available
to your human senses.

you will never know me in any form,
so all you can hope for is a hint,
but that is more than you will need
and all that you would ever want.

count your adorations and hope for the best,
lest the wind sweep you away
and the water wash you dry.

embrace the permanence
of the nevermore.

here is where love still lives.

Pina – the movie

I am writing this entry at 20200407-1753, while quarantined under a mandatory stay-at-home order and furloughed from work due to the COVID-19 crisis.

I found a ticket stub to the movie Pina, a 3d documentary of the choreographer Pina Bausch. I went to see it at Phipps Plaza at 20120222-1915. I rode my bike there, as this was during the time that I didn’t have a car. It was nighttime when I rode home, obviously. It must have been fairly cold out, given the time of year. I don’t remember that, but I do remember the ride and also being quite proud of myself for having done it.

That was such a difficult time of life for me. It helps me to remember all that I have been through, especially when it seems like times are tough currently.

It was a great movie that I enjoyed immensely. Because, obviously, of it being my name, but also because I wish I had never quit dance. I used to love it so much.
