OK then Lauren...Jamie...

6 of May: Late afternoon in the park. The children piling upon one another and rolling down the hill in a giggling, wrestling, tumbling glory. Cigarette butts and a used condom mark the passage of after school teenage occupation and make me sick. I hold Fabian up by the arms while he goes to the bathroom, defecates, in the flowery brush. The girls watch and laugh, covering their mouths and I see them in their twenties.

Yesterday: A man in a bright yellow sweater. Cadmium yellow medium, a bit of yellow ochre and pale green light. Someone smells like candy and I am looking for a job. Tried on a green cotton/linen dress, liked it.

who is Fabian?

Eleanor Greer said...

A 6 year old German boy...he lives nearby and comes to the park with us when his father is alone because his mother is in France.

How is Jacob?
