Mirante
Today I visited the tiny town of Mirante do Parapanema (Parapanema being a river, Mirante meaning ‘a view of’), travelling through some more vast lush countryside to get there. It was pretty gorgeous. I was continuously hugged, kissed, and fed by numerous tiny old women, and was introduced to all passers-by as ‘Ana from Australia who is a vegetarian’. Dig it.
Has anyone noticed that Mirante is an exact anagram of Martine. Oh yes.
Ann. I’m out of hospital now and have a day or so before going back to work. I will take some time to catch up on your blog tomorrow.

yes the lesbic ‘martine-lust’ overtones of ann’s post are quite evident: “tiny old women”, “vast lush” etc. This reads more like a dream diary than a travelogue. Is there something you would like to tell me ann?

Oh, you two, you make my Sapphically-coded messages of love sound so crude …. oh Mirantine, I fear you will never have the rainbows in your heart that I have for you …. perhaps I should sweat more?

What’s crude about the word cunt?

Nothing. But the assumption of my purely physical lust is a crude interpretation of what is a deeply spiritual love. You straights are all the same.
