I woke up one morning
it’s first day of June
3 weeks in Istanbul
fortunes and defeats
arrival and departures of thought
“a miniature lifetime”
sometimes you find things
before you imagine
sometime you imagine
before you find things.
“I had seen a lot.”

note: I want to congratulate Heather on the Fifth Anniversary of her Lost in Arles:

Thank you so much for this beautiful gift, Edgar. The poem clicked with me – of course – and the song (and video) are just lovely.
