| New jobs and other madness |
| 05.02.04 (2:43 pm) [edit] |
I forgot just how tiring it can be to start a new job - new systems, computer stuff, long hours (but four days off after tomorrow - I hope). But in the middle of that is the madness of trying to dislodge the people there from before, whom I only mildly thought about before and now have to listen as they rant and rave because their cash cow is being taken away.
Much better was my daughter's call this morning, as usual at 3:30, so she could read me some poems by Pablo Neruda, who she is obsessed with at the moment. This was one she told me reminded her of me. I told her she could read it at my funeral as ashes go to the sea...and being my daughter, she laughed and agreed.
XXXIV (You are the daughter of the sea) - Pablo Neruda
You are the daughter of the sea, oregano's first cousin.
Swimmer, your body is pure as the water;
cook, your blood is quick as the soil.
Everything you do is full of flowers, rich with the earth.
Your eyes go out toward the water, and the waves rise;
your hands go out to the earth and the seeds swell;
you know the deep essence of water and the earth,
conjoined in you like a formula for clay.
Naiad: cut your body into turquoise pieces,
they will bloom resurrected in the kitchen.
This is how you become everything that lives.
And so at last, you sleep, in the circle of my arms
that push back the shadows so that you can rest--
vegetables, seaweed, herbs: the foam of your dreams.
