Night. Day.

Old Secretariat . Panjim.

And, the light went off right when someone switched on a light in the story I was reading.

 

“There is no night darker than a night of fires. There is no man more alone than one running in the midst of a howling mob.”

 

My friend said that they showed no remorse. “Showed no remorse”. I kept quiet.

 

Camus makes me hesitate.

 

I gave wrong directions to people in my dream. Where will they end up?

 

Early morning. A train whistles in the distance. Is night leaving on that train?

In the sunlit Jantar Mantar, a Russian man recognized my Russian camera. What a beautiful day, I thought.

 

Sadness. Basho told me

 

“The morning glories  / bloom, securing the gate / in the old fence”

 

“Won’t you come and see loneliness?” “…its white shade / glimmers for a moment before dissolving / like a tablet in a glass of darkness.”

 

Flowers secure the gate. Shadow looks more real than the body. Dreams in a pawn shop. “Even in Kyoto/ I long for Kyoto”. “Names swallowed..”
