Genova on No Sleep
Read this slowly. Let the words arrive before you decide what they mean.
Sunday. Took the train to Genova this morning after sleeping so little that I briefly considered my ticket an advanced reading exercise. Dad met me, looked at my face and said, `”Good night?”` I said yes. He said, `”Coffee?”` Excellent parenting. Tia met me later and immediately objected to the fact that I had come to Genova in a condition unsuitable for conversation. She then talked enough for both of us. We walked by the sea and I became approximately human by late afternoon.
Remember me, Eclipse.
Why?
Because every thought leaves a trace. If something moved you, disturbed you, softened you, or made you think, leave it here, quietly.
