<mind the gap!>

had a cool time with the friends

weekend in paris on a hangover

being bridesmaid ain't so difficult

yummy lebanese food at st. christopher's place

discovered more art and photography

found some cool poetry on the tube

and 'mind the gap!' still sounds like 'my baguette!'

london still fasinates me

**

who broke these mirrors

and tossed them

shard

by shard

among the branches

and now...

shall ask l'akhdar to come and see

colours are all entangled

with the thing

and the eyes burn

l'akhdar must gather these mirrors

on his palm

and match the pieces together

any way he likes

and preserve the memory of

the branch
