“May I have a pail of water on my head too?”

“Your head’s as wet as it can get” Catherine said.

“I just wanted to feel it” the girl said.

“Wade out, David, and get a good cold one,” Catherine said. And after he had poured the clear cool sea water on Marita’s head they left her lying with her face on her arms and swam out to sea. They floated easily like sea animals and Catherine said, “Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I wasn’t crazy?”

“You’re not crazy.”

“Not this afternoon,” she said, “Anyway not so far.”

    Thanks for the kind comments everybody.

    I’m very glad you have enjoyed the playlist. Before publishing I thought I’d might be alienating the readers if I veered towards a strict minimal tech-house sound every now and then, but seeing it’s been welcomed so far I think I will continue sharing some head bobbins catching my attention in the future for your enjoyment.

    Pildit: I just recently finished reading ‘the garden of eden’ and I have to say I didn’t expect Hemmingway’s work to be drenched with such erotic context. Definitely changed my mind about him. It’s a fairly short read and I’d recommend the read if you haven’t already.

The song makes its imprint
in the air, making itself felt,
a felt world. Here, there,
the stunned silence

of knowing I will not remember
what I heard;

futures that will never happen,
a fluidity we cannot achieve
except as a child
creating possibility.

This is the untranslatable song
hidden in the earth.
