balzac-saunter

To saunter is a science; it is the gastronomy of the eye. To take a walk is to vegetate; to saunter is to live.

“The hull of the knife and the surf
of our hurting

The outrigger of the bullet and the whitecaps
of our mistakes

The Commander of Suicide
and the archipelago
of the mirror”

Denis Johnson | “Ulysses”
