black cat
dead grass
wisps of white clouds

clouds turn mauve — sky from blue to grey
clouds turn bright orange (not fiery) — but metal orange

then gone in a few minutes

hymn to the sky

finished Hopi almost Miracle of the Rose
finished Genet
finished Arts magazine
about to start A Lover’s Discourse
put aside the Miller for a while (Air Conditioned Nightmare)

the “desire” to not underline in the Barthes book — use red pen to demarcate passages — a touch of color to the black and white (perhaps I should wait until after this notebook is finished (why do such questions arise — concepts of purity) perhaps I should use a separate notebook for annotations)
p7 8-14

the idea of making my own discourse — where has the idea of love gone — merged with practicality and pornography — passages on women — anonymous legs and asses — motions — click of high heels — sway of hips flex of knee — a card for Collectors Photography that I’ve been using as a bookmark — a lovers confession — (concession) — I have to confess my fidelity like some guilt

p14 4-6
p15 14-18
reading p18 - I start to take words apart — to see parts —

asp in grasp — (Cleopatra) —
held brings up Al Held
arm in charm — ire in desire — able in adorable

idea to photocopy or replicate some such passages and take them apart in different ways — experiments begun with the Angelic Avengers which I have to close out soon — perhaps with some free flow page
p 19 sect 3 1-4

interruption of the dialogue
