The Paris Sky

The Paris sky
is blue and bright
I want to fly
with all my might

Her legs are long
her heart is high
The chains are strong
but so am I

- Leonard Cohen


Sorrows of The Elderly

The old are kind.
The young are hot.
Love may be blind.
Desire is not.

- Leonard Cohen 


I’m talking to you, Oona.
Be idealistic,
don’t be practical.
Seek the insignificant
small but essential qualities,
essential to life.
Jonas Mekas to his daughter Oona Mekas in Paradise Not Yet Lost (1979)
