What happened, happened once. So now it’s best in memory – an orange he sliced: the skin unbroken, then the knife, the chilled wedge lifted to my mouth, his mouth, the thin membrane between us, the exquisite orange, tongue, orange, my nakedness and his, the way he pushed my body against the fridge. Beside the stove we ate an orange. And there were purple flowers on the table. And we still had hours.

A second bossa-jazz playlist to be joined with my previous post: ‘plum bamboo pine‘. I have to note that most of the music on this two playlists comes from posts that squashed made around summer 2006 and got lost in the motel archives. The songs are too good to pass and lately they’ve been rather good companions for lonely summer evenings so I decided to bring them back from the grave and add a little bit from my collection to the mix.
