Some people kiss. They really do, they have a few moves, and it’s wet, and it counts as kissing, and it’s fun. I’m not knocking it by any means; it’s good stuff. But some people? Some people do more than just kiss. It’s a rhythm, an exchange that goes much further than your mouth. It’s an expression, a form of lovemaking. It’s a dialogue. It leaves this ache in the middle of your chest; it leaves you throbbing in all of your neediest places. It leaves you in a haze.”</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "Droid Serif", Times, "Times New Roman", Georgia, serif; letter-spacing: 0.5px;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "Droid Serif", Times, "Times New Roman", Georgia, serif; letter-spacing: 0.5px;"><br /></span></p>Setty Lepidahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16279183166232164984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2833553059029631712.post-62857061448354136212022-11-16T13:53:00.001+02:002022-11-16T13:53:28.450+02:00sigh<blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="background-color: white; color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "Droid Serif", Times, "Times New Roman", Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; letter-spacing: 0.5px;">““The appeal of finding beauty in darkness is something really interesting.

είναι αυτή η μαύρη τελεία στα παράξενα μάτια σου<br />
μόνο όταν με κοιτάς στο σκοτάδι είναι εκεί<br />
όταν χτυπάει η νυκταλωπία μου είσαι εκεί<br />
ακολουθώ τη φωνή σου, είμαστε στο λεωφορείο<br />
έξω πορτοκαλιές λάμπες σαν Κύκλωπες, ο δρόμος φεύγει<br />
ή τρέχουμε εμείς; έχεις τα πόδια τεντωμένα στα δικά μου<br />
μιλάς σιγά και βραχνιασμένα και ξεραίνεται ο λαιμός μου<br />

να τώρα θέλω να σε ζωγραφίσω, έτσι όπως πέφτει το φως στο πρόσωπό σου, θέλω να βγάλω το μπλοκ και να σε ζωγραφίσω εδώ που καθόμαστε, έτσι όπως γελάς, έτσι όπως κάθονται οι σκιές από την απο κει μεριά, και πέφτουν πάνω στα βυζιά σου και στα μάτια σου, εδώ και ώρα σε κοιτάω, έχω απομνημονεύσει κάθε σου έκφραση, κάθε γραμμή, πως γυρίζεις το πρόσωπο, πως κοιτάζεις, πως στρίβεις το λαιμό σου, και τις προάλλες που καθόμασταν στον ημιόροφο και έπεφτε πάνω σου το φως το ίδιο έκανα, γαμώτο θέλω να σε ζωγραφίσω _ </div>

my friend<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know you aren't good with words<div>
that's where I casually do better </div>
<div>
given the time ahead I've had </div>
<div>
to state the implicit </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
that's my wont </div>
<div>
yours is a good edit </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I first noticed how you did it </div>
<div>
back in the day when you took me </div>
<div>
out of town </div>
<div>
we walked so much that day </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
you painted walls </div>
<div>
I brought them down with words</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
your hands performing what </div>
<div>
your eyes see, things I can't even _</div>
<div>
my mouth performing what</div>
<div>
my head gets, rock- paper-scissors_</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's been perfection, hasn't it?</div>
<div>
not that I'm counting days, I'm not</div>
<div>
but I just wanted to say thanks </div>
<div>
for the drinks last night </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
for all these rides, the crazy walks</div>
<div>
the madness in the lyrics, the rail tracks</div>
<div>
and the things one dares not do unless </div>
<div>
the other tags along and bullies you one bit</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
and </div>
<div>
thank you </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
for the city lights, the small town high</div>
<div>
the soft mumbles once the rows were done</div>
<div>
for smelling my neck and not biting </div>
<div>
for scrapping your knees down with me</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
thank you for the romance that takes</div>
<div>
a mardy bum and a bullet to the gut </div>
<div>
for laughing like a motherfucker </div>
<div>
when it did </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
thank you for seeing beyond the gaps</div>
<div>
and for your painted fingers </div>
<div>
for every single rotten joke</div>
<div>
for getting pissed and a tad smitten</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
above all for it never, ever, ever </div>
<div>
being quite enough for either </div>
<div>
but contemporarily adequate for both</div>
<div>
thank you for our being </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
such creeps and weirdos together _ </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

When we say "You smell good," here's what we mean:</div>
<div class="body-el-text standard-body-el-text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Baskerville, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: 47.5938px; text-align: justify;">
You make me think of fireflies and precisely five tiny beads of sweat on her Coppertoned neck, which was mine one weekend long ago. You make me taste buttered popcorn and Junior Mints and feel the scuffed movie theater seat on my bare calves, and you inspire visions of barbecued hamburgers and pudgy strawberries, purple soap and faded blue sheets.</div>
<div class="body-el-text standard-body-el-text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Baskerville, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: 47.5938px; text-align: justify;">
We mean you smell pure and sweet.</div>
<div class="body-el-text standard-body-el-text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Baskerville, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: 47.5938px; text-align: justify;">
When we say, poleaxed, "What's that perfume? I really like it," here's what we mean: Stealing a kiss in a cab, drinking a Manhattan, which I have never drank before, in Manhattan, where I have never been before tonight. A marbled lobby, a cavernous club, shivering at her hot breath on my cheek when she whispers something about literature on the dance floor, and then another cab, another kiss, freely given, stumbling up narrow, steep stairs in what people of this loud, pushy, wondrous city where I have been one night and want to live out my days call a "walk-up," which sounds as exotic to my midwestern ears as "prewar" or "schmear." Her hand on the back of my head, my hand exploring the small of her back, us leaning against a wall in the entryway, fumbling with keys, whispering. Closing my eyes, wondering why people here say "on line" instead of "in line," feeling drunk, being drunk, having found my future wife, wanting to breathe her in forever.</div>
<div class="body-el-text standard-body-el-text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Baskerville, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: 47.5938px; text-align: justify;">
We mean you smell sophisticated, and a little dangerous, like you know things we don't but want to.</div>
<div class="body-el-text standard-body-el-text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Baskerville, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: 47.5938px; text-align: justify;">
When we lean toward you and close our eyes and inhale deeply, and it looks like we're happy for no apparent good reason, here's what we mean: The crickets are making a racket outside the open windows, and we are rising and falling, rising and falling (it's the '80s and it's a water bed; don't judge) and James Taylor is singing "Sweet Baby James" and the record skips in the places I know by heart. There, a hiccup between "moonlight" and "ladies" and I swear I can see the sound waves in the clouds of marijuana smoke, and Huxley, her aged German shepherd, is twitching by the door. There's a sweet, yeasty stench of beer and bacon and fried cheese and onions from the sub shop where she works, and there is her shiny black hair, all the way down her back, and the deep, delighted voice of St. Louis Cardinals announcer Jack Buck coming from the tinny transistor radio in the window next door, as he bids "Adios!" when slugger Jack Clark clubs yet another tiny ball and it spins into the thick, black Missouri night.</div>
<div class="body-el-text standard-body-el-text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Baskerville, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: 47.5938px; text-align: justify;">
We mean you smell like musky abandon, like surrender.</div>
<div class="body-el-text standard-body-el-text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Baskerville, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: 47.5938px; text-align: justify;">
When we're shopping for a sweater at a mall or watching our nephew run at a middle school track meet and in the middle of a crowd, we suddenly stop, dazed, here's what we mean: I'm 15 and she's the nice lady who works in the candy store in town where counselors in training go on days off and she gives me free Cherry Cokes. She invites me to water-ski with her at her cabin by the lake next week, and next week comes and there's a drumming thunderstorm on the roof and when she drives me back to camp she tastes like grape, because it's the flavor of the lipstick she applies before she gives me the first kiss of what seems to me at the time to be my undeserving but abundantly blessed life.</div>
<div class="body-el-text standard-body-el-text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Baskerville, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: 47.5938px; text-align: justify;">
We mean you smell like a vanilla milk shake.</div>
<div class="body-el-text standard-body-el-text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Baskerville, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: 47.5938px; text-align: justify;">
When you are asking what looks good on the menu and we slump, and we're staring at something that's not there? Here's what that means: Gigantic, impossible blobs of color, purple and yellow, red and green, splotching and dripping and filling up the starry sky. Fresh-cut grass and the scent of gasoline from the pump behind the camp kitchen. Sweaty palms—mine and hers, the summer camp director's daughter—and we kiss, not knowing that 17-year-olds looking up at the aurora borealis should keep looking, should hold tight to the vision, because we'll never see it again. She wants to be a lawyer and we talk about raising children and she smells like hot milk cake and I imagine all the summers of my life unspooling in the sky, in northern Wisconsin, in the tall grass up the gentle hill from deep, green Towanda Lake, until the assistant camp director strides out to the athletic field and smacks his clipboard against his thigh and yells at us both to get back to our cabins; do we want him to get fired?</div>
<div class="body-el-text standard-body-el-text" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: Baskerville, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25.6px; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: 47.5938px; text-align: justify;">

F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, "No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart." I submit that he had the wrong organ. Looks matter. What you say is important. Actions count most, at least to any reasonable man. But for summoning memories, for transporting us to distant times, for evoking and stirring feelings that we didn't know were still there, there is scent.</div>
