It was many and many a year ago
\nIn a kingdom by the sea
\nThat a maiden there lived whom you may know
\nBy the name of ANNABEL LEE<\/i><\/p>\n
Judith <\/i><\/p>\n
A minute I am copying out the poem by Poe <\/i><\/p>\n
Which one?<\/i><\/p>\n
ANNABEL LEE<\/i><\/p>\n
Jonny-Jonny is on the phone he wants you to take a break as he is tired<\/i><\/p>\n
Then I shall take a break and maybe start again tomorrow <\/i><\/p>\n
Judith placed her pen in the desk tidy and left the study<\/p>\n
The study that overlooked the pool<\/p>\n
In which a pistol once fired was hidden<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
August Lyrical<\/b><\/p>\n
I thought I saw two people walking a dog in a faraway field <\/i><\/p>\n
But they turned out to be summer trees <\/i><\/p>\n
I will never the early <\/i>morning so carelessly again<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
August Swim<\/b><\/p>\n
The breeze lied to me today promising rain <\/i><\/p>\n
I watched you swim in our dream place <\/i><\/p>\n
As the clouds turned a Monroe Grey \u00a0<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2X3<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
I placed her pen in the desk tidy and left my study<\/p>\n
My study that overlooked the pool<\/p>\n
In which a pistol once fired was hidden<\/p>\n
I picked up the internal phone and rang 2×3<\/p>\n
Annabel picked up the receiver<\/p>\n
2×3<\/i><\/p>\n
Where is Judith? <\/i><\/p>\n
In the study copying out the Poe poem<\/i><\/p>\n
Would you ask her to finish it off as I am getting a little tired <\/i><\/p>\n
No problem <\/i><\/p>\n
Are you going to join us in the pool?<\/i><\/p>\n
I might do <\/i><\/p>\n
After all you created it for us <\/i><\/p>\n
Life was so boring before you created the pool <\/i><\/p>\n
There is a pistol in the pool<\/i><\/p>\n
I know <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you know how it got there?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes<\/i><\/p>\n
Anna K has been shot and I feel that it is my fault <\/i><\/p>\n
Is she ok? <\/i><\/p>\n
It is only a flesh wound <\/i><\/p>\n
She is resting in my bed at present<\/i><\/p>\n
Who shot her?<\/i><\/p>\n
The cops<\/i><\/p>\n
Will they not come here? <\/i><\/p>\n
Eventually I have written in another shooting in another town and they are investigating that at present <\/i><\/p>\n
They think Anna K is on a train many kilometres from here <\/i><\/p>\n
What should we do if they show up here?<\/i><\/p>\n
Just jump in the pool with Judith and for fucks sake hide the pistol <\/i><\/p>\n
This will give me the time to write the next chapter<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Interview with Anna K<\/b><\/p>\n
Anna was sitting up when I entered the room<\/p>\n
I could see her wound<\/p>\n
The bullet had cut a deep furrow in her shoulder but caused only external tissue damage<\/p>\n
She smiled<\/p>\n
Long time Rolf long time <\/i><\/p>\n
I am known as Jonny-Jonny now <\/i><\/p>\n
I think it was late in 1976 when I last saw you after the Dusseldorf shooting <\/i><\/p>\n
I thought you were dead <\/i><\/p>\n
No I escaped and lived in Normandy for the next two years but the cops were always just behind me <\/i><\/p>\n
How long were you in jail?<\/i><\/p>\n
Fourteen years <\/i><\/p>\n
I was released in 1992<\/i> as they did not think I was a danger to society<\/p>\n
Are you are you a danger to society? <\/i><\/p>\n
I ask myself that question quite often but do not answer it <\/i><\/p>\n
Why did you betray me Rolf? <\/i><\/p>\n
I did not betray you I just created your character in my book<\/i><\/p>\n
It did not take them long to guess three times three does not make six <\/i><\/p>\n
Like you I had been living under an assumed name Gretal Paigne <\/i><\/p>\n
I was an art restorer and you might like this I still lived in Dusseldorf<\/i><\/p>\n
I often passed the very cops who were hunting me in the street <\/i><\/p>\n
But I was plain old Gretal Paigne from a good Jewish family <\/i><\/p>\n
But you hated the Jews<\/i><\/p>\n
We hated everything in those days <\/i><\/p>\n
I was a responsible Jew <\/i><\/p>\n
I changed my looks and put on weight<\/i><\/p>\n
It worked and after a while they lost interest <\/i><\/p>\n
Magnal the chief prosecutor died which was stroke of luck
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
They became more disorganised after his death<\/em><\/p>\n Until your fucking book <\/i><\/p>\n Who shot you?<\/i><\/p>\n A rookie cop <\/i><\/p>\n I reached inside my pocket for my id and the fool shot me <\/i><\/p>\n Don\u2019t worry his car overturned on the autobahn he was killed soon after you were shot<\/i><\/p>\n That was the least I could do for you <\/i><\/p>\n And I am here lying in your bed with half my fucking shoulder blown away thank you <\/i><\/p>\n Do you think I have changed? <\/i><\/p>\n A little <\/i><\/p>\n Liar <\/i><\/p>\n You could do with a good meal <\/i><\/p>\n Maybe put some colour in your hair <\/i><\/p>\n What are you going to do?<\/i><\/p>\n I will go back to Dusseldorf again and open up another shop I might teach music as it was what I was studying at University before we joined the FKK <\/i><\/p>\n Joking apart what are you going to do? <\/i><\/p>\n You are the writer Rolf create my future perhaps I could join your m\u00e9nage a trios here <\/i><\/p>\n Jonny-Jonny and his ladies <\/i><\/p>\n What a fucking stupid name you have <\/i><\/p>\n It sells <\/i><\/p>\n Anna\u2019s wound was bleeding again and Rolf bathed it gently<\/p>\n Sleep now <\/i><\/p>\n What about the cops?<\/i><\/p>\n You are safe here for the present as they are chasing you in Nice or maybe Cannes or maybe Antibes I have not decided where yet <\/i><\/p>\n I will finish that chapter after I leave you<\/i><\/p>\n Sleep now <\/i><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n The Publisher Findley<\/b><\/p>\n You see her father had two wives and both died <\/i><\/p>\n The first was Gaynor G \u00a0<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n She was the policewoman you shot dead in Dusseldorf\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n He married the sister of Gaynor G and she was Judith\u2019s mother<\/i><\/p>\n Is she also dead? Yes the car in which she and her family were travelling was involved in a head on smash with a police car after the FKK bank raid in Stuttgart <\/i><\/p>\n The FKK disbanded after I was jailed and Anna went to ground <\/i><\/p>\n It did but there were cells that were still active right up to about ten years ago They did not attack targets as your group did but robbed banks and the like so that they could finance something bigger<\/i><\/p>\n The operation was much more organised than yours <\/i><\/p>\n You may have wanted to change society to educate people but the later FKK cells had a bigger agenda <\/i><\/p>\n But they did not have a charismatic leader like yourself and because of this they were fragmented <\/i><\/p>\n Tell me about the crash<\/i><\/p>\n It was simple a group of FKK activists attempted to rob a bank in the suburbs of\u00a0Stuttgart<\/i> but the police were waiting for them <\/i><\/p>\n It was supposed to be a bloodless operation as the activists were only small fry but as normal the police fucked it up and there was a shoot out <\/i><\/p>\n One of the FKK cars escaped and was chased down the autobahn and this is when the crash happened <\/i><\/p>\n It appears that the driver of the police car was shot in the head during the chase and his car collided head on with the car in which Judith and her family was travelling<\/i><\/p>\n She lost her father and mother and was terribly injured herself <\/i><\/p>\n Did she recover?<\/i><\/p>\n You could say that, she had her right leg amputated above the knee and was badly scarred but she overcame this and became a respected wrier <\/i><\/p>\n I cannot say that I have read her work <\/i><\/p>\n She writes critical studies of famous writers and poets <\/i><\/p>\n She wrote a book on Poe which was very well received and it currently translating his poems into Polish <\/i><\/p>\n Does she know of my past?<\/i><\/p>\n No <\/i><\/p>\n Is this a wise appointment?<\/i><\/p>\n Look you are hot property today your last book sold millions people are not interested in your past they are just interested in Jonny-Jonny <\/i><\/p>\n You can use my villa it is in the hills it is very quiet <\/i><\/p>\n Does it have a pool?<\/i><\/p>\n No just write one into your book <\/i><\/p>\n It was previously owned by a rock star who killed himself there<\/i><\/p>\n Really <\/i><\/p>\n He hung himself from a tree in the orchard <\/i><\/p>\n What was his name?<\/i><\/p>\n Hugo H <\/i><\/p>\n His brother committed suicide nearly ten years after Hugo in the house that we are about to pass <\/i><\/p>\n What was his name?<\/i><\/p>\n The Brother of Hugo H <\/i><\/p>\n The car stopped in front of a rather scruffy villa which had been built in the 1950s and had obviously seen better days<\/p>\n Is this it?<\/i><\/p>\n Yes but you can tidy it up in your dreams <\/i><\/p>\n Do not get any thoughts about Judith though<\/i><\/p>\n She works in a carpet factory <\/i><\/p>\n Sorry? <\/i><\/p>\n She is a grade one lesbian and as far as I know is fucking a woman called ANNABEL LEE <\/i><\/p>\n Fuck off Findlay <\/i><\/p>\n Perhaps if you are really nice to her she will tap your cock before she tucks you in for the night<\/i><\/p>\n Do you want this book or not?<\/i><\/p>\n Yes and this is why I have brought you here<\/i><\/p>\n I want you to write and write and make us very wealthy<\/i><\/p>\n You really are an old Jew through and through <\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n August Super Winds <\/b><\/p>\n I always imagined that ANNABEL LEE resembled <\/i><\/p>\n The Dark Lady of the Sonnets <\/i><\/p>\n I do not know why as Poe does not reveal much <\/i><\/p>\n Judith said this to me when filming <\/i><\/p>\n The Sunshine Naturists of America <\/i><\/p>\n For a cable television channel <\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Traditional <\/b><\/p>\n I\u2019m happy when I\u2019m a hiking <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Greek Builders<\/strong> In a few short weeks I had tidied the villa up<\/p>\n I would be able to write<\/p>\n In chapter thirteen of my book<\/p>\n Thirteen burly Greek builders constructed a swimming pool<\/p>\n To my specifications<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Conversations with a Naked Amputee\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n And this was the reason that, long ago <\/i><\/p>\n In the kingdom by the sea <\/i><\/p>\n A wind blew out of a cloud ,chilling <\/i><\/p>\n My beautiful ANNABEL LEE<\/i><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n Judith was sitting quite naked on the stool as I entered my study<\/p>\n The scars that she had suffered in her terrible car accident were very evident<\/p>\n The skin on the right side of her body was red and rough<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Oh I am sorry I did not know you were here<\/i><\/p>\n This is your study<\/i><\/p>\n Nevertheless I should have been aware of you working<\/i><\/p>\n You would not have known that I was naked<\/i><\/p>\n Do you often work naked?<\/i><\/p>\n If the air is as hot as it is today<\/i><\/p>\n Do you?<\/i><\/p>\n Not when writing but sometimes when you and ANNABELLE LEE are out I swim naked in the pool\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n Have I embarrassed you?<\/i><\/p>\n If I was worried then I would have locked the door<\/i><\/p>\n The doors do not have locks the rock star removed them all <\/i><\/p>\n Do you hate what you see?<\/i><\/p>\n No should I? <\/i><\/p>\n My scarred body my missing leg <\/i><\/p>\n It is evident but it is of no consequence to me <\/i><\/p>\n The car crash was so severe that only my shoulders breasts and my face remained untouched although my nose was broken<\/i><\/p>\n Do you like my shoulders? <\/i><\/p>\n Yes<\/em><\/p>\n My breasts?<\/i><\/p>\n Exquisite <\/i><\/p>\n My face?<\/i><\/p>\n You have a beautiful face <\/i><\/p>\n I wanted you to see me naked that is why I sat in your study <\/i><\/p>\n With difficulty Judith stood up and faced me<\/p>\n I noticed that small crimson flowers had been attached to her pubic hair very much in the manner of a daisy chain<\/p>\n That was my girlfriend’s doing she was here until moments before you arrived you must have passed her on the stairs <\/i><\/p>\n No-one passed me <\/i><\/p>\n I think she was becoming bored so she decorated me <\/i><\/p>\n She achieved a good effect <\/i><\/p>\n Judith sat down and began to attach her prosthetic leg<\/p>\n Although I am scarred and hideous and only have one leg there are things that are advantageous to me <\/i><\/p>\n What might they be?<\/i><\/p>\n Feminine fucking it is so much easier with only one leg <\/i><\/p>\n I have never thought of it that way <\/i><\/p>\n Before I was crippled I had to be something of a contortionist when fucking girls but now I just slot in nicely between the thighs of ANNABEL LEE <\/i><\/p>\n How is your translation going? <\/i><\/p>\n Slowly<\/i><\/p>\n I have had Findley on the telephone <\/i><\/p>\n Tell the old Jew to fuck off he will receive the translation when I am ready <\/i><\/p>\n With her prosthetic leg fitted Judith moved around the room with surprising ease<\/p>\n She looked out of the window at the empty swimming pool<\/p>\n Do you know there is a pistol in the pool?<\/i><\/p>\n Yes<\/i><\/p>\n How did it get there?<\/i><\/p>\n I don\u2019t know I have not thought about that yet<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Apple and the Swimming Pool<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As I walked down the stone steps I could hear splashing in the pool<\/p>\n I expected to see ANNABELLE LEE swimming but when the pool came into view it was empty<\/p>\n I could see wet footmarks leading away on the path which led to the lemon trees<\/p>\n ANNABELLE LEE ANNABELLE LEE<\/em><\/p>\n I have a task for you<\/em><\/p>\n There was no reply<\/p>\n I picked an apple which she had left on a sun lounger<\/p>\n I took a bite from it<\/p>\n It tasted bitter<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Graffiti <\/b><\/p>\n Earlier I had noticed that on the mirror in the wash room that someone had written<\/p>\n Daughters of the Left Rise Up Again <\/b><\/p>\n They had borrowed my lipstick<\/p>\n I recognised the colour<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Memories of Hammersmith <\/b><\/p>\n That evening I received a mail from Henryk Seinkiewicz which read as follows<\/p>\n Between July 1897 and March 1946 Martha Jane Edwards the loving mother of George Arthur Edwards who died on the 29th<\/sup> of July 1897 aged just seven months was known to visit his grave in the Lewisham Cemetery at least twice a month <\/i><\/p>\n After he death in March 1946 the grave was never visited again and is currently in a stage of advanced neglect <\/i><\/p>\n This is a fact <\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Butterfly<\/strong><\/p>\n Judith had attached the chain of small crimson flowers to a wind chime which was moving quietly in the light breeze<\/p>\n A butterfly landed on the wind chime<\/p>\n Where are you going butterfly? <\/i><\/p>\n I am going to Rome <\/i><\/p>\n Then head for the hills and cross the sea as it is many days distant<\/i><\/p>\n Do take a crimson flower with you <\/i><\/p>\n I cut a flower from the chain and handed it to the butterfly<\/p>\n I am not looking forward to my journey <\/i><\/p>\n Be strong in your journey <\/i><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n Wola Okrzejska<\/b><\/p>\n My memorial overlooks the wheat fields which are so golden <\/i><\/p>\n Do visit me in August <\/i><\/p>\n It is the loveliest time of the year <\/i><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n August <\/b><\/p>\n August is the most private of months as it known that on one hand it is hiding the autumn but on the other it is celebrating high summer <\/i><\/p>\n Days of extreme heat often occur in August especially in countries further north like England Sweden Denmark and Finland\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n I was in England a few years ago when the temperature topped one hundred degrees which is very unusual for a country which is for the most part in the path of westerly winds <\/i><\/p>\n Today two Sopwith Camels passed overhead like angry moths and flew into clouds above Bordeaux <\/i><\/p>\n August is a month of sounds but also of silence and as I write I am looking toward the distant hills of Rouge Mi <\/i><\/p>\n There is nothing but silence<\/i><\/p>\n Even the insects are at peace <\/i><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n The Pistol in the Pool<\/b><\/p>\n The telephone rang<\/p>\n 2×3 <\/i><\/p>\n Are you writing?\u00a0\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n It was Anna K<\/p>\n Yes but I need a break <\/i><\/p>\n Two cops have arrived and they are looking for Anna K <\/i><\/p>\n Get in the pool and hide the pistol <\/i><\/p>\n I will deal with the cops <\/i><\/p>\n The cop and his female partner were waiting at the gate<\/p>\n May we have entry sir? <\/i><\/p>\n Of course how may I help you? <\/i><\/p>\n Can we discuss this by your pool?<\/i><\/p>\n Be my guest <\/i><\/p>\n We sat in the hard seating area just in front of the terrace which led to the villa<\/p>\n Anna K was swimming in the pool<\/p>\n How may I help you?<\/i><\/p>\n Are you the writer and ex terrorist Jonny-Jonny?<\/i><\/p>\n I was known as Rolf then<\/i><\/p>\n You knew Anna K <\/i><\/p>\n Very well we were lovers as well as members of the FKK <\/i><\/p>\n Have you seen her recently?<\/i><\/p>\n No the last time I saw her was during the shootout\u00a0 in Dusseldorf in 1976<\/i><\/p>\n You killed my grandfather <\/i><\/p>\n I am sorry but it was different country then <\/i><\/p>\n What is your name?<\/i><\/p>\n Christina Schultz <\/i><\/p>\n I remember your grandfather Bernard Shultz<\/i><\/p>\n He would just not let me escape<\/i><\/p>\n \u00a0A professional to the end <\/i><\/p>\n Did he die a hero? <\/i><\/p>\n No I shot him in the back as he tended to a fallen comrade<\/i><\/p>\n May I use your pool? <\/i><\/p>\n Go ahead <\/i><\/p>\n That is the only reason she accompanies me<\/i><\/p>\n You confuse me<\/i><\/p>\n So that she can use the pools in the neighbourhood <\/i><\/p>\n She looks better out of uniform<\/i><\/p>\n I agree <\/i><\/p>\n Does she talk to you about her grandfather? <\/i><\/p>\n She hated him you did the family a favour by blowing him away <\/i><\/p>\n Why did you come here please remind me? <\/i><\/p>\n We are hunting Anna K you identified her in your most recent novel Super-Terrorist <\/i><\/p>\n She is in the pool with your partner <\/i><\/p>\n Have you seen her?<\/i><\/p>\n As I said not since 1976<\/i><\/p>\n Do you live here alone?<\/i><\/p>\n My publisher has lent me this villa as I write a sequel to Super-Terrorist <\/i><\/p>\n There have reports that a woman with one leg has been seen at this villa<\/i><\/p>\n That is Judith she is an amputee<\/i><\/p>\n My information is that another woman has been seen here I have her description in my notebook <\/i><\/p>\n Raven haired raven eyes resembling Shakespeare\u2019s Dark Lady of the Sonnets <\/i><\/p>\n That is ANNABELLE LEE<\/i><\/p>\n Are you engaged in a relationship with either of these woman? <\/i><\/p>\n Not a chance they are both raving dykes<\/i><\/p>\n They keep me awake at night just listening to them <\/i><\/p>\n I am surprised I write at all <\/i><\/p>\n Why are they here?<\/i><\/p>\n They are my research assistants <\/i><\/p>\n Are they here now? <\/i><\/p>\n No they are at a festival <\/i><\/p>\n The Festival of Food? <\/i><\/p>\n I believe so <\/i><\/p>\n Anna K and the female cop emerged naked from the pool<\/p>\n They lay next to each other on the sun loungers<\/p>\n Another five minutes Christina just five minutes <\/i><\/p>\n Do you fuck her?<\/i><\/p>\n Only after drug busts as they turn us both on so much <\/i><\/p>\n Anna K wrapped the pistol in a towel and passed it to me as the cops left<\/p>\n Did the female cop suspect anything? <\/i><\/p>\n No she was too busy telling me about her perfect tits <\/i><\/p>\n We will have to hide this pistol as I am sure the male cop suspected something it was something in his manner<\/i><\/p>\n Shall I throw the pistol back into the pool? <\/i><\/p>\n Yes and make sure it is near the overflow pipe<\/i><\/p>\n Today was to close for comfort <\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Message from a Critic<\/b><\/p>\n You are through to Jonny-Jonny I am online <\/b><\/em><\/p>\n You undress your female characters at every opportunity but do not reveal yourself or any of your male characters\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n Do you really want to see Findlay\u2019s tiny Jewish Dick?<\/i><\/p>\n Why did the male cop not join the women in the pool instead of leering at his partner\u2019s backside?<\/i><\/p>\n He was questioning me<\/i><\/p>\n Why were you not naked?<\/i><\/p>\n I never write naked I only swim naked <\/i><\/p>\n But never in front of your assistants <\/i><\/p>\n I doubt if they would be interested<\/i><\/p>\n Did you enjoy seeing Judith naked?<\/i><\/p>\n I did not enjoy or enjoy seeing Judith naked it was essential to the plot that I saw her naked<\/i><\/p>\n Explain <\/i><\/p>\n It was a catharsis for her obviously she needed somebody outside of her female lovers to see her naked I doubt if she has ever been fucked by a man<\/i><\/p>\n Is that why she decorated her cunt?<\/i><\/p>\n I thought ANNABELLE LEE had weaved the flowers in her pubic hair<\/i><\/p>\n That is what she told me \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n Will you explore that in your book?<\/i><\/p>\n No if she happy with ANNABELLE LEE then I will not interfere<\/i><\/p>\n Does it turn you on when you hear them fucking at night <\/i><\/p>\n No it irritates me as I am trying to sleep <\/i><\/p>\n Findley wants this book in a month<\/i><\/p>\n Then why do you not go in and tell them to quieten down?<\/i><\/p>\n Are you scared of seeing two women fucking?<\/i><\/p>\n No<\/i><\/p>\n Then why do you suffer it? <\/i><\/p>\n I do not have an answer <\/i><\/p>\n Why do you not write a three-way into your book? <\/i><\/p>\n It is not essential to the plot <\/i><\/p>\n Just think of it having two dykes at once<\/i><\/p>\n I think it turns you on more than me <\/i><\/p>\n What turns me on?<\/i><\/p>\n Fucking lesbians <\/i><\/p>\n That is you all over so so smart or at least you think you are Mr Cool who ensures that all his female characters go naked Is that why you created the swimming pool?\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n No my assistants expressed their boredom so I created a pool for them <\/i><\/p>\n To see them naked? <\/i><\/p>\n No I do not watch them when they are in the pool <\/i><\/p>\n Why?<\/i><\/p>\n Because I am too busy writing <\/i><\/p>\n Do you want to watch them? <\/i><\/p>\n Do you?<\/i><\/p>\n Yes please please write me in as a pizza delivery man who accidently interrupts them the next time they are in the pool together And if that lovely cop could be there also then I would be so grateful to you<\/i><\/p>\n I will see what I can do <\/i><\/p>\n Thank you <\/i><\/p>\n CLOSE<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You are through to Jonny-Jonny I cannot reply to you right now so would you type in your message and I will come back to you as soon as possible \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Finlay here \u2013 would you give a call or mail me \u2013 the Americans want a thousand word taster \u00a0– are you in a position to send it to me \u2013 this would be very advantageous \u2013 they are talking of a prime time television slot \u2013 this could be even bigger than your last book \u2013 do contact me asap <\/i><\/p>\n Desmond <\/i><\/p>\n Finlay again – \u00a0do you realise that you still have the putrid corpse of the rock star hanging from a tree in the orchard \u2013 if I was you I would remove it before you send the in final draft <\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n French Oyster Culture \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n After Boeuf demonstrated the practicability of oyster-farming in the area the extension of the system over the foreshores of the islands between Pont de Rivedoux and Point de Lome was so rapid and effective that over two hundred beds were conceded by the Government in the year of 1859 alone<\/p>\n The Green Oyster<\/b><\/p>\n One of the most lucrative branches of French oyster-farming may be described as the manufacture of the celebrated green oysters<\/p>\n The greening of the oysters that are brought from the Ile de Re parks is extensively carried on at Marennes on the banks of the River Seudre<\/p>\n The popularity of these oysters stems from the fact that emeralds are sometimes found instead of pearls<\/p>\n Attempts to synthesize this operation have so far failed<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Desmond \u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n As requested I have sent you a thousand word taster for the Americans<\/i><\/p>\n Received with thanks<\/i><\/p>\n Have you read it?<\/i><\/p>\n Yes<\/i><\/p>\n Is it what they want?<\/i><\/p>\n They want anything you write but here we might have a problem <\/i><\/p>\n I think I know what you are going to say<\/i><\/p>\n Yes while the American publishers love you the authorities over there are taking a dimmer view <\/i><\/p>\n No entry to America <\/i><\/p>\n Yes I have tried to pull a few strings but to them you are still an FKK terrorist <\/i><\/p>\n Are they aware that I spent fourteen years in jail?<\/i><\/p>\n It would have been the gas chamber of life without parole if they had had their way you know the way their minds work <\/i><\/p>\n Only too well <\/i><\/p>\n Still this does not restrict your travel elsewhere<\/i><\/p>\n I have had an invite from Henryk Seinkiewicz to visit him in Poland he wants me to see his memorial<\/i><\/p>\n Are you thinking of going?<\/i><\/p>\n When I finish this book maybe he is a good friend<\/i><\/p>\n The butterfly you befriended was crucified when it reached Rome <\/i><\/p>\n I thought it might happen as people were uncomfortable with its views<\/i><\/p>\n The Romans are returning the crimson flower to you<\/i><\/p>\n It was found when the butterfly was arrested<\/i><\/p>\n You shoud receive it in a month<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It was from Judith\u2019s pubic hair <\/i><\/p>\n ANNABELLE LEE wove it into Judith’s hair on the day I saw her naked<\/i><\/p>\n I gave one to the butterfly By the way I do not have a tiny Jewish Dick<\/i><\/p>\n I thought that was you<\/i><\/p>\n It was just that I had had some of those fucking feminists in my ear as they do not like the way you treat women in your books and poems <\/i><\/p>\n I treat them well<\/i><\/p>\n They are of the opinion that you bully them <\/i><\/p>\n I do not bully them I cherish them I celebrate beauty <\/i><\/p>\n There is much ugliness in the world I was ugly once but now I celebrate beauty <\/i><\/p>\n They do not see it that way<\/i><\/p>\n You said the easiest way to shut up a feminist is to give her a good fuck they are frustrated and are gagging for it twentyfour-seven <\/i><\/p>\n I believe you whispered this to me in a synagogue recently <\/i><\/p>\n I fully agree with you most feminists are ugly and jealous of beauty<\/i><\/p>\n With the exception of ML Oliver she is a beauty in anybody\u2019s book <\/i><\/p>\n She hates my writing and has told me so on many occasions <\/i><\/p>\n Perhaps she just wants you to fuck her <\/i><\/p>\n I will write her into a chapter <\/i><\/p>\n And face a law suit <\/i><\/p>\n She just hates herself <\/i><\/p>\n I thought your treatment of Judith was very tender you did not exploit the situation at all <\/i><\/p>\n I just felt for her although she is not wildly attractive she did not deserve her injuries<\/i><\/p>\n I just felt compassion towards her <\/i><\/p>\n It showed in your writing<\/i><\/p>\n She was brave to expose her scars and stump to me <\/i><\/p>\n I think it liberated her <\/i><\/p>\n Maybe although she was badly scarred and had lost a leg she still had a beauty and that was what I was trying to get across\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n Would you have fucked her?<\/i><\/p>\n That was not in my mind when I wrote the chapter I just wanted to show that beauty is not always apparent <\/i><\/p>\n There is stillness about Judith <\/i><\/p>\n Why did you undress the female cop?<\/i><\/p>\n For fun <\/i><\/p>\n Do you know that during the FKK days we often fucked cops? <\/i><\/p>\n You hinted at that in your previous book <\/i><\/p>\n They were as fucked off as we were at the state of things and some crossed the line <\/i><\/p>\n Andy H was a well-known example and that was why they killed him at that roadblock <\/i><\/p>\n I liked the part when Anna K and Christina emerged from the pool naked<\/i><\/p>\n The hunted and the hunter together <\/i><\/p>\n Did you plan for Anna K to meet the cops?<\/i><\/p>\n No it came to me as I was writing <\/i><\/p>\n I was going to have ANNABEL LEE swimming in the pool but to have two beautiful women in the pool together was slightly clich\u00e9d <\/i><\/p>\n Speaking of ANNABEL LEE she does not appear in your book apart from conversations on the telephone or comments about her lovemaking\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n As with Anna K I am not sure what to do with ANNABEL LEE I could exploit her and describe her raven beauty in explicit detail but the book does not warrant it <\/i><\/p>\n Also I do not want to hurt Judith as ANNABEL LEE is the centre of her universe <\/i><\/p>\n Where is ANNABEL LEE at present?<\/i><\/p>\n Cutting down the rock stars putrid corpse and disposing of it <\/i><\/p>\n That is not a very nice job <\/i><\/p>\n That is because she fucked me off <\/i><\/p>\n How? <\/i><\/p>\n Her laziness I asked her to research something for Henryk and she just remained around the pool all day and argued when I objected<\/i><\/p>\n So I told her to deal with the rock star as I do not want the cops hanging around\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n It is a shitty job for a woman<\/i><\/p>\n It is a shitty job for anyone but he is more a pile of bones<\/i><\/p>\n She needed to be taught a lesson <\/i><\/p>\n I have also turned the water off so when she come to shower etc etc <\/i><\/p>\n You are bullying your female characters again <\/i><\/p>\n Maybe maybe I am <\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Short Shower Room Scene\u00a0 \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Jonny where the fuck are you!<\/i><\/p>\n Jonny!<\/i><\/p>\n ANNABEL LEE ran down the stone steps towards me she was quite naked<\/p>\n You cunt you fucking cunt you turned the water off <\/i><\/p>\n I needed to teach you a lesson <\/i><\/p>\n I have just handled a putrid rotting rock star I and I am crawling with bugs and you have turned the fucking water off <\/i><\/p>\n I looked at her pubic hair<\/p>\n I wonder if Shakespeare\u2019s Dark Lady of the Sonnets had a raven bush as symmetrical as yours it is indeed a work of art <\/i><\/p>\n Fuck you fuck you fuck you!<\/i><\/p>\n ANNABEL LEE ran across the terrace and jumped into the pool<\/i><\/p>\n She turned her back on me<\/i><\/p>\n I could see that she was crying <\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Memo from Desmond (Confidential)<\/b><\/p>\n It may be too late for his current book but I will try to move Jonny-Jonny towards a less edgy view of women as he is still has a tendency to bully them in his prose<\/i><\/p>\n Whilst he does not objectify them as such he does treat them badly at times <\/i><\/p>\n The feminist movement although misguided does have a strong station in the USA and if he alienates them then his reputation might suffer <\/i><\/p>\n I will support his trip to Poland to see Henryk as I feel he needs a little lyricism in his soul and his good friend will most certainly provide that <\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Return of the Cops <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n ANNABEL LEE burst into my study breathless<\/p>\n The cops are here again <\/i><\/p>\n Is it Christina and the stupid one? <\/i><\/p>\n No<\/i><\/p>\n Where are they?<\/i><\/p>\n By the gate<\/i><\/p>\n Ok where is Anna? <\/i><\/p>\n In the orchard <\/i><\/p>\n Leave by the back door and warn her as I think these cops might mean business <\/i><\/p>\n Were they tooled up? <\/i><\/p>\n Fully<\/i><\/p>\n Fuck I thought this might happen <\/i><\/p>\n From the washroom window I could see ANNABEL LEE running across the small meadow that led to the orchard<\/p>\n Thankfully she was blind from the road<\/p>\n I walked towards the gate where there were two macho cops waiting for me<\/p>\n Are you Jonny-Jonny? <\/i><\/p>\n Yes<\/i><\/p>\n We have received information that you are hiding the wanted terrorist Anna K <\/i><\/p>\n I have not seen her in forty years<\/i><\/p>\n Liar!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Your colleagues were here a short while ago<\/i><\/p>\n Describe them <\/i><\/p>\n The stupid one and the female cop with nice tits <\/i><\/p>\n Christina and Alain they have left the force <\/i><\/p>\n In a week?<\/i><\/p>\n Do not argue with me <\/i><\/p>\n The taller of the two cops pushed me aside<\/p>\n I felt for my gun which I had not carried for years<\/p>\n You fucking terrorists are all the same where is she? <\/i><\/p>\n Go and issue parking tickets fuck <\/i><\/p>\n I was punched in the mouth by the cop nearest to me<\/p>\n Look here Jonny-Jonny or is it still Rolf D I have come here to neutralise that bitch <\/i><\/p>\n She is rubbish and a cop killer <\/i><\/p>\n My mouth was bleeding<\/p>\n That was forty years ago you were not even born <\/i><\/p>\n The FKK killed my father <\/i><\/p>\n And mine <\/i><\/p>\n Do I give a fuck? <\/i><\/p>\n I was punched again and kicked in the stomach the barrel of the cops heavy gun was pointed at my temple<\/p>\n Where is she I will not ask again? <\/i><\/p>\n Go fuck yourself! <\/i><\/p>\n I heard the bullets move in the barrel of the gun<\/p>\n Hey cunts are you looking for me?<\/i><\/p>\n I looked up and saw Anna K standing naked at the top of the path she was holding a Kalashnikov<\/p>\n You fucking bitch! <\/i><\/p>\n The cop raised his gun<\/p>\n Suddenly the side of his head exploded as a bullet ripped his skull apart<\/p>\n I looked around and saw ANNABEL LEE who was as naked as Anna K with the pistol from the pool in her hand<\/p>\n It was still smoking<\/p>\n You have the most symmetrical of cunts<\/i><\/p>\n She smiled at me<\/p>\n The other cop was hit instantly as Anna K took advantage of his surprise and blew his face away with a volley of bullets<\/p>\n He fell against the Iron Gate<\/p>\n Judith walked towards me taking the pistol from ANNABEL LEE<\/p>\n She was also naked and handed the pistol to me as she and helped me to my feet<\/p>\n I was pretty groggy and bleeding and dropped the pistol<\/p>\n Judith tossed it carelessly into the pool<\/p>\n What a fucking mess they made of you let\u2019s take you inside and clean you up <\/i><\/p>\n They may have broken your nose <\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Memo to Findlay <\/b><\/p>\n Shelia mailed me your memo in error \u2013 you will see that I have not bullied my female characters but empowered them \u2013 I was being fucked by those cops and the women rescued me <\/i><\/p>\n The cops would have killed me <\/i><\/p>\n I feel that they have done half the job<\/i><\/p>\n \u00a0My nose is broken and I am heavily bruised <\/i><\/p>\n I treated them all as Amazons naked and powerful <\/i><\/p>\n Although not armed even shy Judith joined in <\/i><\/p>\n They cleaned up my wounds and placed me in an ice cold bath <\/i><\/p>\n I am not sure why <\/i><\/p>\n Obviously I will not be available for any signing for the foreseeable future <\/i><\/p>\n The women have buried the cops next to the rock star <\/i><\/p>\n I am not sure if this is how you wanted it to end but this is the way it ended <\/i><\/p>\n I have written a new life for Anna K in Germany and will be leaving for Poland when I am back in one piece <\/i><\/p>\n Judith and ANNABEL LEE will be more difficult to place I might use them in another book\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n Who knows? <\/p>\n \u00a0Judith <\/b><\/p>\n As I lay painfully on the small camp bed I watched Judith work<\/p>\n She was naked<\/p>\n She always worked naked<\/p>\n I was naked<\/p>\n Her translation of ANNABEL LEE was almost complete<\/p>\n She read part of it to me<\/p>\n So that her highborn kinsman came And neither the angels in heaven above

\nTowards a beautiful tor
\nFor when the sun is a shining
\nI will always return for more\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
\nAnd bore her away from me
\nTo shut her up in a sepulchre
\nIn this kingdom by the sea <\/i><\/p>\n
\nNor the demons down under the sea
\nCan ever dissever my soul from the soul
\nOf the beautiful ANNABEL LEE <\/i><\/p>\n
