"Masakichi just happened to have one," Junpei explained. "He found it lying by the road, and he figured it would come in handy sometime."

"And it did."

"It really did. So Masakichi went to the town and found a spot for himself in the square. He put up a sign: 'Deeelicious Honey. All Natural. One Cup Â¥200.' "

"Can bears count money?"

"Absolutely. Masakichi lived with people when he was just a cub, and they taught him how to talk and how to count money. Masakichi was a very special bear. And so the other bears, who weren't so special, tended to shun him."

"Shun him?"

"Yeah, they'd go, like, 'Hey, what's with this guy, acting so special?' and keep away from him. Especially Tonkichi, the tough guy. He really hated Masakichi."

"Poor Masakichi!"

"Yeah, really. Meanwhile, the people would say, 'O.K., he knows how to count, and he can talk and all, but when you get right down to it he's just a bear.' So Masakichi didn't really belong to either worldÂthe bear world or the people world."

"Didn't he have any friends?"

"Not a single friend. Bears don't go to school, you know, so there's no place for them to make friends."

"Do you have friends, Jun?" "Uncle Junpei" was too long for her, so Sala just called him Jun.

"Your daddy is my absolute bestest friend from a long, long time ago. And so's your mommy."

"That's good, to have friends."

"It is good," Junpei said. "You're right about that."

Junpei often made up stories for Sala before she went to bed. And whenever she didn't understand something she would ask him to explain. Junpei gave a lot of thought to his answers. Sala's questions were often sharp and interesting, and while he was thinking about them he could also come up with new twists to the story he was telling.

Sayoko brought a glass of warm milk.

"Junpei is telling me the story of Masakichi the bear," Sala said. "He's the all-time No. 1 honey bear, but he doesn't have any friends."

"Oh, really? Is he a big bear?" Sayoko asked.

Sala turned to Junpei with an uneasy stare. "Is Masakichi big?"

"Not so big," Junpei said. "In fact, he's kind of on the small side. For a bear. He's just about your size, Sala. And he's a very sweet-tempered little guy. When he listens to music, he doesn't listen to rock or punk or that kind of stuff. He likes to listen to Schubert, all by himself."

"He listens to music?" Sala asked. "Does he have a CD player or something?"

"He found a boom box lying on the ground one day. He picked it up and brought it home."

"How come all this stuff just happens to be lying around in the mountains?" Sala asked with a note of suspicion.

"Well, it's a very, very steep mountain, and the hikers get all faint and dizzy, and they throw away tons of stuff they don't need. Right there by the road, like, 'Oh, man, this pack is so heavy, I feel like I'm gonna die! I don't need this pail anymore. I don't need this boom box anymore.' "

"I know just how they feel," Sayoko said. "Sometimes you want to throw everything away."

"Not me," Sala said.

"That's because you're young and full of energy, Sala," Junpei said. "Hurry and drink your milk so I can tell you the rest of the story."

"O.K.," she said, wrapping her hands around the glass and drinking the warm milk with great care. Then she asked, "How come Masakichi doesn't make honey pies and sell them? I think the people in the town would like that better than just plain honey."

"An excellent point," Sayoko said with a smile. "His profits would be much greater that way."

"Plowing up new markets through value added," Junpei said. "This girl will be a real entrepreneur someday."

It was almost 2 A.M. by the time Sala went back to bed. Junpei and Sayoko waited for her to fall asleep, then went to split a can of beer at the kitchen table. Sayoko wasn't much of a drinker, and Junpei had to drive home.

"Sorry for dragging you out in the middle of the night," Sayoko said, "but I didn't know what else to do. I'm totally exhausted, and you're the only one who can calm her down. There was no way I was going to call Takatsuki."

Junpei nodded and took a swig of beer. "Don't worry about me," he said. "I'm awake till the sun comes up, and the roads are empty at this time of night. It's no big deal."

"You were working on a story?"

Junpei nodded.

"How's it going?"

"Like always. I write 'em. They... ]]> *stregatta75 E.A. Poe CONTEST http://stregatta75.deviantart.com/journal/21228740/ http://stregatta75.deviantart.com/journal/21228740/ Thu, 30 Oct 2008 07:51:44 PDT The theme is E.A. Poe and all media are allowed. You can find the rules here [link]

http://stregatta75.deviantart.com/journal/19104961/ Sun, 29 Jun 2008 07:06:51 PDT I'm so cute and built to suit to knock out canine eyes
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the spread of my whiskers
The span of my paws,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my claws.
I'm a feline
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal feline,
That's me.

I strut down the alley
Just so cool and, "Egads!",
To every dog,
The mutts jog or
Jump back on their pads.
Then from me they fly,
Like many wimpy lads.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the cut of my teeth,
The rise of my tail,
And the pounce in my feet.
I'm a feline
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal feline,
That's me".

deep in thought i forgive everyone
as the cluttered streets greet me once again
i know i can't be late, supper's waiting on the table
tomorrow's just an excuse away
so I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own
the earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
at the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
steeple guide me to my heart and home
the sun is out and up and down again
i know i'll make it, love can last forever
graceful swans of never topple to the earth
and you can make it last, forever you
you can make it last, forever you
and for a moment i lose myself
wrapped up in the pleasures of the world
i've journeyed here and there and back again
but in the same old haunts i still find my friends
mysteries not ready to reveal
sympathies i'm ready to return
i'll make the effort, love can last forever
graceful swans of never topple to the earth
tomorrow's just an excuse
and you can make it last, forever you
you can make it last, forever you"

http://stregatta75.deviantart.com/journal/16342713/ Thu, 10 Jan 2008 11:46:21 PST Stavo lÃ¬ seduta con quel senso di speranza, niente di consistente o di definito, sapete, come un programma per la giornata o una lista di cose da fare. Era solo la sensazione di una possibilitÃ , come un miraggio che brilla nel deserto.
Gli raccontai del silenzio, di quanto fossero terribili quelle pause alla radio. Â«Sai, la radio Ã¨ rumore e intrattenimento,Â» dissi, senza pause di riflessione. Il silenzio era spaventoso, quasi vergognoso, come indossare solo le mutande a una cerimonia in abito scuro. CioÃ¨, non ti stai comportando nel modo in cui dovresti. Sei te stesso invece di essere un altro. In un certo senso era tutto cosÃ¬ a nudo. Tutto quel sentimento inesprimibile. Credo che a volte sia la nuditÃ delle cose ciÃ² che le persone non riescono a gestire. PerchÃ© dobbiamo passare cosÃ¬ tanto tempo a dipingere le cose e a fingere?
Quando ti sventolano i loro cartelli e ti sputano in faccia, non ci si puÃ² permettere un momento di debolezza. Non si puÃ² raccontare del dopo, del dolore. Si dice solo che va tutto bene. E sputi a tua volta, se ne hai il coraggio."

http://stregatta75.deviantart.com/journal/15959344/ Sun, 16 Dec 2007 12:50:56 PST Teeth glint like jagged shapes out of an ice fed lake
Night is uneasy, an ill omened wind scares leaves.
Two humans cling before a fire
Their bodies fix flickering shadows at which they do not look.
Like a black-edged letter, dire wolf stands before the door
The last spark of fire leaves up the chimney,
As water flows into an ocean the two hide inside the bed.
In sleep she calls a strange name, he is awake and hears it.
Wolf is night inside the house
Wolf is eyes red with desire
Wolf moans the way a woman might in the arms of another man.
He hears the wolf's call but can't wake
She hears and it echoes in her dream of her other lover.
Someday the night will end
Dark wolf"

We're good friends, I value that,
There's nothing you need do.

But as a friend I need to tell you
What is in my heart.
An unsaid truth is like a wall,
Keeping us apart.
My love for you will go nowhere,
Will just remain with me.
I'll hold it in my quiet arms
And feel it constantly."

And a friendship that
I pray will never end.

Your smile - so sweet
And so bright -
Kept me going
When day was as dark as night.

You never ever judged me,
You understood my sorrow.
Then you told me it needn't be that way
And gave me the hope of a better tomorrow.

You were always there for me,
I knew I could count on you.
You gave me advice and encouragement
Whenever I didn't know what to do.

You helped me learn to love myself
You made life seem so good.
You said I can do anything I put my mind to
And suddenly I knew I could.

There were times when we didn't see eye to eye
And there were days when both of us cried.
But even so we made it through:
Our friendship hasn't yet died.

Circumstances have pulled us apart,
We are separated by many miles.
Truly, the only thing that keeps me going
Is my treasured memory of your smile.

This friendship we share
Is so precious to me,
I hope it grows and flourishes
And lasts unto infinity.

You are so extra-special to me
And so this to you I really must tell:
You are my one true friend,
My Guardian Angel.

Our friendship is one-in-a-million
So let's hold on to it and each other.
We cannot let this chance of pure bliss fly away
For there will never be another.

I love you.
I will always love you."

With a love so vast and shattered

Whose ship has not been built

For the heart with no companion

For the prima ballerina
Who cannot dance to anything

Through the days of shame that are coming
Through the nights of wild distress
Tho' your promise count for nothing
You must keep it nonetheless

So my body leaves no scar
On you and never will

Through windows in the dark
The children come, the children go
Like arrows with no targets
Like shackles made of snow

True love leaves no traces
If you and I are one
It's lost in our embraces
Like stars against the sun

As a falling leaf may rest
A moment on the air
So your head upon my breast
So my hand upon your hair

And many nights endure
Without a moon or star
So we will endure
When one is gone and far

True love leaves no traces
If you and I are one
It's lost in our embraces
Like stars against the sun."

(Drear path, alas! where grows
Not even one lonely rose) --
My soul at least a solace hath
In dreams of thee, and therein knows
An Eden of bland repose.

And thus thy memory is to me
Like some enchanted far-off isle
In some tumultuos sea --
Some ocean throbbing far and free
With storms -- but where meanwhile
Serenest skies continually
Just o're that one bright island smile."

And the nearest kin of the moon,
The creeping cat, looked up.
Black Minnaloushe stared at the moon,
For, wander and wail as he would,
The pure cold light in the sky
Troubled his animal blood.
Minnaloushe runs in the grass
Lifting his delicate feet.
Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance?
When two close kindred meet,
What better than call a dance?
Maybe the moon may learn,
Tired of that courtly fashion,
A new dance turn.
Minnaloushe creeps through the grass
From moonlit place to place,
The sacred moon overhead
Has taken a new phase.
Does Minnaloushe know that his pupils
Will pass from change to change,
And that from round to crescent,
From crescent to round they range?
Minnaloushe creeps through the grass
Alone, important and wise,
And lifts to the changing moon
His changing eyes.

W. B. Yeats.

(Il gatto andava qua e lÃ e la luna
girava in tondo come una trottola
e il piÃ¹ prossimo parente della luna,
il gatto strisciante, guardÃ² su.
Il nero Minnaloushe fissava la luna,
chÃ¨, nel suo gemere e vagare,
la pura luce fredda su nel cielo
agitava il suo sangue d'animale.
Minnaloushe corre nell'erba
levando le zampe delicate.
Danzi, Minnaloushe, danzi?
Quando due parenti stretti s'incontrano,
cosa c'Ã¨ di meglio che ballare?
Forse la luna puÃ² imparare,
stanca di quelle maniere regali,
un nuovo giro di danza.
Minnaloushe strisca nell'erba
da un luogo all'altro al chiaro di luna,
il sacro astro lassÃ¹
Ã¨ entrato in una nuova fase.
La sa Minnaloushe che le sue pupille
andranno di mutamento in mutamento,
passando dal plenilunio alla falce,
dalla falce al plenilunio?
Minnaloushe strisca nell'erba
solo, compreso e guardingo,
e alza alla mutevole luna
i suoi occhi mutevoli.)

little white shoes of snow that have heels of sleet.
Stay by the fire, my Cat. Lie still, do not go.
See how the flames are leaping and hissing low,
I will bring you a saucer of milk like a marguerite,
so white and so smooth, so spherical and so sweet -
stay with me, Cat. Outdoors the wild winds blow.

Outdoors the wild winds blow, Mistress, and dark is the night,
strange voices cry in the trees, intoning strange lore,
and more than cats move, lit by our eyes green light,
on silent feet where the meadow grasses hang hoar -
Mistress, there are portents abroad of magic and might,
and things that are yet to be done. Open the door!"

On A Night of Snow - Elizabeth J. Coatsworth

(Gatto, se esci, devi camminare nella neve,
ritornerai con scarpette bianche ai piedi,
pantofoline candide di neve con calcagni di nevischio.
Resta accanto al fuoco, Gatto mio. Buono, non andare.
Guarda le fiamme che danzano e fischiano piano,
ti porterÃ² un piattino di latte come una margherita,
cosÃ¬ bianco e cosÃ¬ liscio, cosÃ¬ tondo e cosÃ¬ dolce.
Resta con me, Gatto. Fuori soffiano i venti impetuosi.

Fuori soffiano i venti impetuosi, Signora, e buia Ã¨ la notte.
Strane voci gridano tra gli alberi, intonando leggende strane,
e non solo i gatti si aggirano, alla luce verde dei nostri occhi,
con piedi silenziosi dove le erbe dei campi pendono brinate...
Signora, fuori ci sono portenti di magia e di potere,
e cose che devono essere ancora fatte. Apri la porta!)
