the red garlic ballads




Pungent red garlic, Murder City red and Chioggia beets, and a new tattoo.

Sorry to interrupt, but it's time to die.

"Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves the insects are eating each other; violence is a part of life."
-- Francis Bacon

At first I thought, how sweet, one butterfly is wounded and the other is carrying it back home. And then reality sunk in and I realized, no, the other butterfly is taking it back home to eat.
