Frozen Sea

.

A book must be an axe for the frozen sea inside of us.
- Kafka

It's fitting that I sit here in Trolley Park this afternoon feeling a king of plaintive

happiness as the children stir the dervish in their Razor scooters. This epigram recalls

a lost story, a nostalgic work in which I'd retrieved a piece of my own childhood. The

connection comes with having bought some lucent lemons from Vons a few hours ago. Then

add the laughter, the family dog, and the winter sunlight and I'm brought back to my days

of jovial agility. Those days on the Paganini's lawn where the Berry sisters, the Keslik

sister's and Aaron had me in a pickle. The frozen sea is parted to these recollections.
