I should really acquire some kind of battery pack, something I can plug devices into when the power goes down. People should remind me of this. Axé.

T.S. Lee / Ezra Pound
02/09/2011
Tropical Storm Lee is coming on in, and you can feel it. Hurricane Katia is in the Atlantic, but we have had hurricanes in October several times. In 2008 I lost the same piece of my roof twice, to Gustav and then to Ike. Update 1: And it’s here, and a state of emergency has … More T.S. Lee / Ezra Pound

I became quite interested in this song when my cat, who may have been Turkish, disappeared earlier this year. He celebrates his eleventh birthday today and his sixth month of disappeared status Friday. When he was first absent I would sing this lullaby in case he was hurt or scared somewhere, and to calm myself. … More 29 August 2005
Irene, Good Night
27/08/2011
Afternoon is fading in Maringouin and I did not get to Rising Tide, which must have been an adrenalin filled event since Hurricane Irene made landfall as a Category One storm in North Carolina this morning. I have written Eric Cantor: Bayou Maringouin, LA. Today marks the sixth anniversary of the arrival of the Hurricane … More Irene, Good Night
Gates of Eden
27/08/2011
This song is for that Spanish Professor and Clarissa. It is truly American, and it explains a great deal. * I hope, but cannot promise, to be at Rising Tide today. This year August 29 falls again on a Monday, as it did in 2005. Classes had just started and things were hectic, and we were … More Gates of Eden

Our Mayan ancestors, says the Popul Vuh – that sacred text of which this weblog is but a performance – were all great sacrificers and penitents. “Sacrifice and penitence are not for mortals, but for the gods,” says one of my old post-it notes, and I would like to reaffirm this right now. “Everything I … More TS Arlene
Walking to New Orleans
29/08/2010
Hurricane Katrina, five years on and still so many people are not home. So they can come home and stay, we need a coast, and for that we need among other things a United States Senator who supports coastal restoration. Charlie Melançon won the Democratic primary last night and we truly deserve your contributions to … More Walking to New Orleans
Gulf Restoration with D. L. Menard
02/07/2010
We went to Lafayette, to a benefit for the Gulf Restoration Network, and saw D. L. Menard. We went in through the front door, so as to pay the cover charge, which was the point. To get there, we burned fossil fuels; that is why we had to leave dedans la porte en arrière. You, … More Gulf Restoration with D. L. Menard
Ses purs ongles
13/11/2009
Ses purs ongles très-haut dédiant leur onyx, L’Angoisse, ce minuit, soutient, lampadophore, Maint rêve vespéral brûlé par le Phénix Que ne recueille pas de cinéraire amphore Sur les crédences, au salon vide: nul ptyx, Aboli bibelot d’inanité sonore, (Car le Maître est allé puiser des pleurs au Styx Avec ce seul objet dont le Néant … More Ses purs ongles
Kairouan (Tunisia), 1920s
08/11/2008
It is the weekend, and this video is what we are singing. At 10 AM EST on Saturday, however, HURRICANE PALOMA was leaving the Cayman Islands as a CATEGORY FOUR STORM and heading to Cuba, where it is expected to make landfall at CATEGORY THREE. C’est fatigant. Axé.
