poetry and the art of recklessness

"how sad it is when a luxurious imagination is obliged in self-defence to deaden its delicacy in vulgarity, and riot in things attainable that it may not have leisure to go mad
after things that are not." *john keats, july 1818
let us riot in the unattainable!
poetry is when the animal bursts forth, inflamed.

*and dean young is spectacular to have written this essay in poets&writers magazine

mercado de san miguel










fotos fotos y mas fotos!
a bit outside of the Puerta Del Sol in Madrid, is a spectacular place called
Mercado de San Miguel,
and i fell in quick love.
it´s bustling like Marshal Field´s on Valentine´s Day at lunch hour.
the frutas tempt you through the floor to ceiling glass exterior,
the champagne tower bubbles, the cheese is chunked off fresh from the rind,
the seafood writhes and drips healthy water,
while the flowers to be bought are pungent and winking...life is alive here!
taste is in motion!
stomachs were never so happy and ears never so delighted!
I love this place and went back often during my Madrid strolls.
buying grand cherries, and think slivers of salmon...
i didn´t indulge in the champagne, although if i did,
i wouldn´t have bought by the glass, but by the bottle.

this is one of my favorite places for sure.
namaste, food lovers!

  1. Oh how I wish I as traveling with you, feeling the crisp, yet warm European air, like a soul traveling beyond the body. I miss you. I miss your presence and calming soul, never missed as much as I do right now. Can't wait to grow old with you...I love peaceful people...I heart you...have fun and think of me often, so I can be there with you!
