We ask our poets to

10.51
We ask our poets to tell us what they see from their window.
Poets that "express themselves" tell us what they see in the mirror.

Toyah & I were sitting, reading & reflecting in the patisserie around 08.30 and suddenly I had a feeling of possibility (more properly, the feeling had me). This feeling is not a stranger in my life, but I have not had it quite like this since around late 1988. That is, since the beginning of the EG Collapse.

Perhaps also of relevance to this is an e-letter I received yesterday which informed me that the last major reverberation from the EG debacle, which carried with it the likelihood of unsettling the practicalities of my life to a considerable & distressing degree, was almost completely settled.

Twelve years.

I told Toyah of this about one minute after it flew by. She had had the exact same feeling at the same time.

And then a walk to the Water of Leith & the Botanic. These have become wonderful opportunities to discuss our insights, reflections, ideas. Toyah set off for the Assembly and, secretly, I went up to catch the last show of Dora of my stay here. It was superb.

My taxi is ordered: tomorrow morning at 06.30 my journey to Chez Belewbeloid will begin: Edinburgh>London>Chicago>Nashville. My brain-dribbling day on Sunday may well be spent at Hollywood 27 catching up on high-action pieces of art which I've missed.
