The end of a summer

-

 

As I stared helplessly
at the reflection of my own face
in the large curved bowl
 at the end of a spoon,
 summer vacation
 drew fully to an end.

The chorus of cicadas vibrating the screen door
suddenly picks up in intensity —
as if to transport me
back to the entrance to summer.

Sun is almost gone. Long days and secluded nights of this strange lonely summer are over. I go out for a walk in an empty city, taking advantage of the last warm days. Blue sky on my back, high-heeled sandals, and coloured bracelets. The best is yet to come.

Azure Blue (Pantone PQ-17-4139TCX) A variation of blue that is often described as the colour of the sky on a clear day. Azure is depicted as a pale cyan or white cyan. In an artistic context this colour would be called azure mist.

 

 
Fin de fiesta. Se terminan una vez más los largos días y las felices noches de éste verano tan extraño. Salir a caminar aprovechando los ultimos días buenos. Con el azul del cielo en el pecho, sandalias de tacón, y pulseras de colores. Lo mejor siempre está por llegar.

The cloud

I bring fresh showers for the thirsting flowers, From the seas and the streams; I bear light shade for the leaves when laid In their noonday dreams. From my wings are shaken the dews that waken The sweet buds every one When rocked to rest on their mother's breast, As she dances about the sun. I wield the flail of the lashing hail, And whiten the green plains under, And then again I dissolve it in rain, And laugh as I pass in thunder. I sift the snow on the mountains below, And their great pines groan aghast; And all the night 'tis my pillow white, While I sleep in the arms of the blast.  Sublime on the towers of my skiey bowers, Lightning my pilot sits;    In a cavern under is fettered the thunder, It struggles and howls at fits; Over earth and ocean, with gentle motion, This pilot is guiding me, Lured by the love of the genii that move In the depths of the purple sea;  Over the ril...

Lots of them wore beige trench coats and those flat caps that made them look like boys who sold newspapers a hundred years ago. —  A.J. Cattapan   Flat caps were used in England since 14th century,  and their use was even mandatory for a while. This item became really trendy in the 20's, specially among workers and news boys, and was recently popularized by hip-hop culture.    This one tartan flat cap is form the traditional Obach Hat Shop in Barcelona ( http://www.barretsobach.com/ ) and is one of my spring favourites.       Las boinas planas pueden rastrearle hasta la Inglaterra del siglo 14th, país en el que su uso incluso fué obligatorio por un tiempo. En los anos 20's se volvieron populares sobre todo entre la clase trabajadora y los niños voceadores.       Esta boina hecha de tartan es de en la tradicional sombrerería Obach de Barcelona ( http://www.barretsobach.com/ ) y una de mi...
