Going on

Many thoughts of my time here. Chest tight around my flame, it struggling to burn clear and straight. The sorrow of leaving and the challenge of arriving. Time too short, slipping through my mental fingers, gone before I am done trying to grab and hold it. Real-time pain and soon-to-be limbo. My arms open, hoping […]

Going home

“Home” my heart sings “I’m going home!”. Why it chants so for a place I have lived for just 5 short months I do not know, but sing it does, and have been doing since I first caught sight of New York’s lights flying into Newark last night. Now, on the bumping Greyhound bus (be […]

LA opsummeret

Det er sært trist at flyve natten i møde. Den sidste røde solnedgangsglød har sluppet os, og skyhavet nedenfor blåner og bliver mere tågeagtigt. Varmen bløder ud af udsigten, og mine fingre og tæer ved at jeg er på vej tilbage til vinteren. På vej til en kuffert der skal pakkes og bittersøde farvel der […]

La Brea

Warmth on my upturned face, uncovered hair and bared arms, the light red-golden filtered through eyelids. The hot wide smell of tar from the pit on the other side of the path. Cool moist grass beneath me, the low stone wall at my back reaching body temperature and giving off a faint rock scent mingling […]

Frugt

Vi er kommet til Tante Ella-land hvor appelsinerne og citronerne gror! Allerede da vi steg ud af flyet igår og mødtes af den blide luft stod det klart at der er langt til det snedækkede New York. Her til morgen vovede jeg mig udenfor i sandaler og uden sweater – sommertøj foeles sært uvant og […]

On flight CO1202 bound for LAX, after the glorious first push of acceleration at takeoff

Up here the sky is blue. Far below glimpses of snow-covered fields can be caught, The sight of blue skies above and white clouds underneath pushes me towards vacation mood. My instincts expect I am flying someplace warm – probably because I previously have mostly flown in summer for vacations. Bright sunlight throwing reflections from […]

Den 24. januar, aften

Empire State Building. Fuld af turister med kameraer og amerikanere der vil saelge dig ting – audio tours, fotografier, souvenir-ubrugeligheder…, eller uniformeret viser vej “exit to your left”, “please step forward”… Mit hovede fyldtes med al deres plapren, der var ikke plads til overs til mange tanker. Men udsigten fra toppen var fin – kold, […]
