i couldn’t say if the
warmth on my lips
is from your breath,
or the coffee
i’ve been drinking
to stay awake
with you.

Speak, Memory

Speak, Memory (Penguin Modern Classics)

just before falling asleep, i often become aware of a kind of one-sided conversation going on in an adjacent section of my mind, quite independently from the actual trend of my thoughts. it is a neutral, detached anonymous voice, which i catch saying words of no importance to me whatever ~ an english or russian sentence, not even addressed to me, and so trivial that i hardly dare give samples, lest the flatness i wish to convey be marred by a molehill of sense.
