Drugs, movies where stuff blows up, loud parties -- all these chase away loneliness by making me forget my name's Dave and I live in a one-by-one box of bone no other party can penetrate or know.

Otherwise </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">the restaurants could just put “fish” up on their signs, </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">and when he woke—he’d slept for hours, curled up </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">on the girder like a child—the sun was going down </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">and he felt a little better, and afraid. He put on the jacket </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">he’d used for a pillow, climbed over the railing </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">carefully, and drove home to an empty house. </div><br /><div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">There was a pair of her lemon yellow panties </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">hanging on a doorknob. He studied them. Much-washed. </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">A faint russet in the crotch that made him sick </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">with rage and grief. He knew more or less </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">where she was. A flat somewhere on Russian Hill. </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">They’d have just finished making love. She’d have tears </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">in her eyes and touch his jawbone gratefully. “God,” </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">she’d say, “you are so good for me.” Winking lights, </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">a foggy view downhill toward the harbor and the bay. </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">“You’re sad,” he’d say. “Yes.” “Thinking about Nick?” </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">“Yes,” she’d say and cry. “I tried so hard,” sobbing now, </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">“I really tried so hard.” And then he’d hold her for a while— </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">Guatemalan weavings from his fieldwork on the wall— </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">and then they’d fuck again, and she would cry some more, </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">and go to sleep. </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;"> And he, he would play that scene </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">once only, once and a half, and tell himself </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">that he was going to carry it for a very long time </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">and that there was nothing he could do </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">but carry it. He went out onto the porch, and listened </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">to the forest in the summer dark, madrone bark </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">cracking and curling as the cold came up. </div><br /><div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">It’s not the story though, not the friend </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">leaning toward you, saying “And then I realized—,” </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">which is the part of stories one never quite believes. </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em; padding-left: 1em;">I had the idea that the world’s so full of pain </div> <div style="text-indent: -1em;

future</p><p><br />And i know full well that you won't be there.<br />you won't be in the street,<br />in the hum that bubbles the night<br />from the streetlamps, nor in the gesture<br />of selecting from the menu, nor in the smile<br />that lightens packed subway cars,<br />nor in the borrowed books, nor in the til-tomorrows.<br /><br />You won't be in my dreams,<br />in my words' first destinations<br />nor will you be in a telephone number,<br />or in the color of a pair of gloves or a blouse.<br /><br />I won't get angry, my love, because of you,<br />and i'll buy bonbons but not for you.<br />I'll stop at the corner you'll never come to,<br />and i'll say the words that are to be said,<br />and eat the things that are to be eaten,<br />and dream the dreams that are to be dreamnt,<br />and i know full well you won't be there,<br />nor here inside, in the prison where i still hold you,<br />nor there outside, in this river of streets and bridges.<br />You won't be there at all, you won't even be a memory,<br />and when i think of you, i'll think a thought<br />that obscurely tries to remember you.<br /></p><p>(transl. mine)</p><p>--Julio Cortázar, de <span

Carta de Amor</span><br /><br /><br />Todo lo que de vos quisiera<br />es tan poco en el fondo<br />porque en el fondo es todo,<br /><br />como un perro que pasa, una colina,<br />esas cosas de nada, cotidianas,<br />espiga y cabellera y dos terrones,<br />el olor de tu cuerpo,<br />lo que decís de cualquier cosa,<br />conmigo o contra mía,<br /><br /><br />todo eso es tan poco,<br />yo lo quiero de vos porque te quiero.<br /><br /><br />Que mires más allá de mí,<br />que me ames con violenta prescindencia<br />del mañana, que el grito<br />de tu entrega se estrelle<br />en la cara de un jefe de oficina,<br /><br /><br />y que el placer que juntos inventamos<br />sea otro signo de la libertad.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">love letter</span><br /><br />everything that i'd want from you<br />is finally so little<br /><br />because finally it's everything.<br /><br />like a dog going by, or a hill,<br />those nothing things, ordinary,<br />ear of wheat and long hair and 2 lumps of sugar,<br /><br />the smell of your body,<br />anything you say about anything,<br /><br />with or against me,<br />all of that is so little,<br />and i want it from you because i love you.<br /><br />May you look beyond me,<br />may you love me with violent disregard<br />for tomorrow, may the cry<br />from your coming explode in<br />the face of a boss in some office<br /><br />and let the pleasure we invent together<br />be another sign of freedom.<br /><br />(transl. mine)<br /><br />-Julio <span class="addmd">Cortázar</span>, de <span style="font-style: italic;">Salvo
