about

For Camilla Lopez, with love, Arturo Bandini

I love "Ask The Dust" by John Fante. my perfect friend - she recommended it to me. its heartbreakingly beautiful. Fante dictated his books to his wife. this seems like some kind of magic.

lyrics

jackson on a high hill
and i am falling softly
and i want to rest on her skin
like the smell of her perfume

i always knew that one day
the ocean would come take me
take me and my life away
and that is why i'm not afraid

i want you to know
that i noticed
you looked closer

oh her black skin
it reminds me
she's a diamond
i want her to
wear my heart like
its her jewelry
