nord­pol : 2.38 — Eine sanf­te Inter­pre­ta­ti­on des Gedich­tes Recuer­do von Edna St. Vin­cent Mil­lay ent­deckt: Rebec­ca Luker und Jeff Blu­men­krantz live at the Zip­per Fac­to­ry ( New York / Hells Kitt­chen ) 2005, Jahr­zehn­te zuvor spricht die Urhe­be­rin des Gedich­tes selbst. > WE were very tired, we were very merry­ / We had gone back and forth all night on the fer­ry. / It was bare and bright, and smel­led like a stable­ / But we loo­ked into a fire, we lea­ned across a table, / We lay on a hill-top under­neath the moon; / And the whist­les kept blo­wing, and the dawn came soon. // We were very tired, we were very merry­ / We had gone back and forth all night on the fer­ry; / And you ate an apple, and I ate a pear, / From a dozen of each we had bought some­whe­re; / And the sky went wan, and the wind came cold, / And the sun rose drip­ping, a bucketful of gold. // We were very tired, we were very mer­ry, / We had gone back and forth all night on the fer­ry. / We hai­led, “Good mor­row, mother!” to a shawl-cover­ed head, / And bought a mor­ning paper, which neither of us read; / And she wept, “God bless you!” for the app­les and pears, / And we gave her all our money but our sub­way fares.- stop / film­quel­len: jeff blu­men­krantz & mel­low cri­cket — you tube

sier­ra : 20.08 — Wie im Kurz­schlaf die Welt neu geord­net wird. Alle Geschich­ten erzäh­len sich, als hät­ten sie sich über die küh­le Hand einer Nacht gefal­tet. Jede begin­nen­de Stun­de, eine Stun­de vor unbe­kann­ter Land­schaft. — Nach­mit­tags dann begeg­net mir im Park wie­der ein­mal ein zen­tra­ler Satz des por­tu­gie­si­schen Erzäh­lers Antó­nio Lobo Antu­nes. Er sag­te, um ein Buch zu schrei­ben, müs­se man etwas ris­kie­ren. Ein Schrift­stel­ler, der nichts wage, sei unauf­rich­tig. Ich spa­zier­te und über­leg­te, was genau zu unter­neh­men ist, damit mein Schrei­ben so gefähr­lich wer­den könn­te, dass ich von einem Wag­nis spre­chen dürf­te. — Abend jetzt. Küh­le Luft. Vor weni­gen Minu­ten die Stim­me der Dich­te­rin Edna St. Vin­cent Mil­lay. Sie liest ihr Poem RECUERDO. We were very tired, we were very mer­ry, We had gone back and forth all night on the fer­ry. Das fei­ne Doku­ment auf­ge­ho­ben. Oder zu mir geholt. stop. Wie auch immer. — stop
