it’s dark by the time the airporter arrives in santa cruz. it’s a monday night, must be around 10 pm and as we drive through down town. it looks deserted. almost no one on the streets, almost no lights. also the house is dark. the board in the entrance tells me that leta and ammon are home, but they are already sleeping.<\/p>\n
the scent of the house. i had forgotten this scent. also, it had changed; in june and july the house’s scent was mixed with that of so many different people. now it was back to its own. a very familiar one, i am reminded, in these immediate ways that scents work, of the house in Tarrytown. perhaps it’s simply the scent of wooden houses with big kitchens and porches, and therefore i associate it with the States, as i never lived in such a house back in Europe. it is a friendly scent.<\/p>\n
my room is made beautiful by mihui. a fresh bed to crash in, a sweet letter and presents. a mug with three skeleton mexican ladies – trio las panchas – and a note that it’s mar\u00c3\u00ada, mihui and myself.<\/p>\n
and then are the spiders. many of them, having spun their webs all over my room. i’ll be living with spiders this season.<\/p>\n
