Dream Song - 14 - John Berryman
Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so. After all, the sky flashes, the great sea yearns, we ourselves flash and yearn, and moreover, my mother told me as a boy (repeatingly) "Ever to confess you're bored means you have no
Inner Resources." I conclude now I have no
inner resources, because I am heavy bored.
Peoples bore me,
literature bores me, especially great literature,
Henry bores me, with his plights & gripes
as bad as achilles,
who loves people and valiant art, which bores me.
And the tranquil hills, & gin, look like a drag
and somehow a dog
has taken itself & its tail considerably away
into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
behind: me, wag.

Daily Note: Rain & Logo
It is raining here, and to reflect the yuckiness, as well the longing rain induces here for other rains in other places, a brief logo change. Perhaps, at some point I should go to color? Not that it matters for a near dormant blog!

Riddle of The Lake - A Telugu Lullaby
In the lovely lake,
There stands a drenched bird
With its golden beak lifted high,
Drinking water through its tail.
So what is this strange bird?
Here is the 'podupu katha' in the Telugu original:
Andamaina Cheruvu Lo
Andamaina cheruvu lo Muddanki pitta Mootiki bangaaramu Tokato neellu taagutundi
