- W1990252439 abstract "Evening, and: While Reading Eva Hoffman's Eleonore Schönmaier (bio) Evening A driver holds openthe limo door as a diplomatsteps in. Closerto the center a man leans over the edge of an upperbalcony and shakes out his pinkduvet. What is he hoping will drift loose: a single lost eyelash,the memory of her body, or does he onlywish to capture, as in a net, the earlyevening air? Perhaps she waitsinside. The diplomatmust wait much longer to find his own sheets. The driverwaits outside the embassy, and looksthrough the windows on the street:some men watch porn movies ontheir large screens; some men makelove (real-time) on their small beds. It is the fractions of momentsthat stay with us: how he touchesher right eyebrow, her leftcollarbone; how he turnsthe dial on his car radio searchingfor the latest love song. [End Page 30] While Reading Eva Hoffman's Illuminations My neighbor stands on top of her concrete garden ballwearing a lilac scarf while talking on her phone. Behindher in the light of dusk is a wall covered in climbingred flowers. Isabel's brother wore a lilac scarfthe day he overdosed and died. Next door the night baker lit up in the large window rolls out loavesof muesli bread and when he turns his back his t-shirt says,Cognizant, I bake. The following morning a family of twelvein three generations strings a tightrope between elm treesand take turns practicing walking the line. A fortyish woman in sheer skirt and bare feet (heels kicked to the side) succeedsmost often, along with the youngest boy. A father walksto the door of the cafe and returns with a tray of sandwicheswhich he carries over to the tightrope walkers. Latermy neighbor is again on top of her concrete ball listening to messages from her ex-lover. The evening Isabelplayed the last chord of the Chopin scherzo in Spain,her hands still hovering in the air, a bomb shatteredthe concert hall lobby. Was this plannedby her ex-lover? No one was physically harmed but it took her weeks before she could returnto the keys, and by then she heard music of a different form:the sound inside her head which she would try to writeout in musical scores. We each carry our own songin the lilac moments of the day. We break [End Page 31] bread and eat what strangers have carefullycreated for us late at night while they whistle a tunethey learned long, long ago or have just foundon the tips of their tonguesin the solitude when the bread begins to rise.
