from Ozone Journal

Bach's cantata in B-flat minor in the cassette,
we lounged under the greenhouse-sky, the UVBs hacking
at the acids and oxides and then I could hear the difference

between an oboe and a bassoon
at the river's edge under cover--
trees breathed in our respiration;

there was something on the other side of the river,
something both of us were itching toward--

radical bonds were broken, history became science.
We were never the same.

The title poem of Peter Balakian's Ozone Journal is a sequence of fifty-four short sections, each a poem in itself, recounting the speaker's memory of excavating the bones of Armenian genocide victims in the Syrian desert with a crew of television journalists in 2009. These memories spark others--the dissolution of his marriage, his life as a young single parent in Manhattan in the nineties, visits and conversations with a cousin dying of AIDS--creating a montage that has the feel of history as lived experience. Bookending this sequence are shorter lyrics that span times and locations, from Nairobi to the Native American villages of New Mexico. In the dynamic, sensual language of these poems, we are reminded that the history of atrocity, trauma, and forgetting is both global and ancient; but we are reminded, too, of the beauty and richness of culture and the resilience of love.

Sandles
Size: 5, Color: French Sand
Love the shoes so pretty but, the strap hurts my little toe but today was first time wearing so I'm hoping I just got to wear them a few times and break them in.. A friend has a pair and she loves them. She said they are very comfortable.

Size: 9, Color: French Sand
Obsessed with these shoes! They are the perfect classic nude heel. I hate the thick heel on a lot of nude shoes and this one is so different in the best way. It looks like a stiletto from the side, but as we know you get much more support. I think you do get your value for the money you spent, these were expensive but they are long-term durable heels. They are comfortable and the sizing is accurate. I’m a 9 and they fit me perfectly.

Beautiful comfortable heel
Size: 7, Color: Amber Gold
Love these shoes! I wore to a wedding without breaking them in and my feet didn’t start to hurt until 9 hours into the event! I am usually between a 6 and 6.5 and got a 6.5 and they fit perfectly.
