“Spring is coming back. On my way to buy some cigarettes, I saw some magnificent bunches of asparagus with the bottoms wrapped in red paper, lying on a green paper in a vegetable stall; they were so pretty. Work. I’ve rarely taken so much pleasure in writing as I do these days, especially in the afternoon when I come back at half past four into this room that’s still thick with smoke from the morning, the paper already covered with green ink lying on the desk; and my cigarette and fountain pen feel so pleasant in my fingers. I can understand Duchamp’s saying to Bost, when he asked him if he didn’t sometimes regret not painting any more: ‘I miss the feeling of the tube of paint in my hand when I squeezed it and the paint smeared across the palette; that was nice.’ The physical part of writing is very pleasant. And even inside, I sense things loosening up; perhaps I imagine it. At any rate, I feel lots of things to say. There’s also the idea for a novel that began to come to me yesterday, at Chéramy’s.”

“

My fire-eating career came to an end
when I could no longer tell
when to spit and when

to swallow.
Last night in Amsterdam,
1,000 tulips burned to death.

I have an alibi. When I walked by
your garden, your hand
grenades were in bloom.

You caught me playing
loves me, loves me
not, metal pins between my teeth.

I forget the difference
between seduction
and arson,

ignition and cognition. I am a girl
with incendiary
vices and you have a filthy never

mind. If you say no, twice,
it’s a four-letter word.
You are so dirty, people have planted

flowers on you: heliotropes. sun-
flowers. You’ll take
anything. Loves me,

loves me not.
I want to bend you over
and whisper: “potting soil,” “fresh

cut.” When you made
the urgent fists of peonies
a proposition, I stole a pair of botanists’

hands. Green. Confident. All thumbs.
I look sharp in garden
shears and it rained spring

all night. 1,000 tulips
burned to death
in Amsterdam.

We didn’t hear the sirens.
All night, you held my alibis
so softly, like taboos

already broken.

”

- Daphne Gottlieb, “Why Things Burn” (via pigmenting)
