the recurrence of our own stories
I really liked this passage I read last night in Michael Ondaatje's Divisadero...
"All my life I have loved travelling at night, with a companion, each of us discussing and sharing the known and familiar behavior of the other. It's like a villanelle, this inclination of going back to events in our past, the way the villanelle's form refuses to move forward in linear development, circling instead at those familiar moments of emotion. Only the rereading counts, Nabokov said...For we live with those retrievals from childhood, that coalesce and echo throughout our lives, the way shattered pieces of glass in a kaleidoscope reappear in new forms and are songlike in their refrains and rhymes, making up a single monologue. We live permanently in the recurrence of our own stories, whatever story we tell."

I wrote six poems yesterday (in response to recent prompts at Writers Island). They're at Moojo Cafe. (As always, in their first draft--which is the only draft they'll ever see--form.) ;)

No, not me...Linda. Well, sort of. ;) Check it out...and prepare to be delighted. (That's her playing the piano, too.)
