      Summer Playlist: Beyond the Cyclical

      Jun 20, 2018

      It’s summer, which means it’s time for a new playlist. Instead of seeking out new music, I decided instead to play through the songs in my current music library, combing for old or undiscovered gems. If you’re like me, you’ve accumulated music over t

      Begin Again

      Jun 14, 2022

      My grandfather came to live with me. There was nowhere else for him to go. What had happened to all his children? Death, decay, exile—I hardly know. My own parents died of pain. But I must not be too gloomy, at the beginning, or you will leave me, an

      Why We Write

      Aug 12, 2020

      AND WHY WE STOP THIS kind of thing used to thrill me—a few dozen writers huddled in a dark bar, taking turns at the mic, hooting and cheering one another afterward. I could sense the way it felt to most of them—nourishing, holy, the air charged with

      Ask A Silly Question

      I SIT IN THE DOCTOR’S OFFICE. He asks: “So, when did you know?” I say: “Always.” Because I’ve heard that simplicity gets results. It is one phrase that has spanned my lifetime. No matter what setting, country or occasion, it remains un defeatable. Li

      What Are You Really Crying About?

      Jun 14, 2020

      — “I love to cry — as long as it’s not about my life.” It was a simple statement, a line I’ve said a thousand times before. But when your dad is a shrink — like mine — you never know where a conversation might take you.  A few months ago I was visiti

      Two Poems

      All those days at home shaped by outline.The mouth perched on the couchback. Eyes tracingThe ceiling’s steps and ramps, as if to walkAcross it, as if to walk on the fresh snow.And hunger was like looking out a windowOnto thick forest, that other wall

      QUEST

      By FELIPE MAFASOLI

      CHAPTER I

      WHOLE

      Pure as the white of snow, thats his motivation

      He watches from his righteously superior regard

      He stumbles through the world in deep sleep

      He can’t distinguish between whats fiction or whats true

      You know the feeling?

      He speaks to himself as if to someone else

      And he swings to music so sweet and irresistible

      Residing in moments so divergent only a fool would ever achieve making any sense of it

      And as he wanders he realizes

      He attracts

      Inhabits

      Abides

      In conclusions so vain you can hear them crack

      He smokes

      And yet with uttermost spontaneity

      Time

      Suddenly another more provoking thought grabs a hold of his spine

      The Idea of Love

      This stupid evidence of it

      Stubborn ridiculous aspect of all which is

      And all which isn’t

      Lets not get hasty here

      One thing at a time

      Existence has its own needs

      And we are its instruments and garments

      If required

      There are codes inside of language which are indecipherable to language

      Like in the paradox,
