Monika K. Adler – The Body and Soul
Eliot pisał, że najokrutniejszym miesącem jest kwiecień. ’Wywodzi z nieżywej ziemi łodygi bzu, miesza pamięć i pożądanie, podnieca gnuśne korzenie sypiąc ciepły deszcz.” Marzec bywa jego smutnym preludium. Piękna kobieta z sąsiedztwa popełniła rozszerzone samobójstwo, uśmiercając siebie i dwóch synów. Wyglądali na szczęśliwych, a odeszli w sposób możliwie najboleśniejszy dla ciała. Grupa dzieci udekorowała ich dom białymi

Eight years in London, the New Babylon.
Ostatnio nie mam czasu zagłębiać się w social media, ale! wstąpiwszy w dziewiąty rok emigracji w Londynie, postanowiłam odświerzyć nieco pamięć i napisać o pra-początkach owej ideei, która doprowadziła mnie w słuszne miejsce. ‘Słuszne miejsce’ – tak o miejscu, ktore pokocha ‘Cię na zabój’ – z pełną wzajemnością – i jak ‘Sezam’ otworzy przed Tobą
