Raymond Carver: "Itu di Crescent City, California, di dekat perbatasan...

"Itu di Crescent City, California, di dekat perbatasan Oregon. Saya pergi segera setelah itu. Tetapi hari ini saya memikirkan tempat itu, Crescent City, dan bagaimana saya mencoba kehidupan baru di sana bersama istri saya, dan bagaimana, di kursi tukang cukur pagi itu, saya memutuskan untuk pergi. Aku sedang memikirkan hari ini tentang ketenangan yang kurasakan ketika aku memejamkan mata dan membiarkan jari-jari tukang cukur bergerak di rambutku, manisnya jari-jari itu, rambut sudah mulai tumbuh."

That was in Crescent City, California, up near the Oregon border. I left soon after. But today I was thinking of that place, of Crescent City, and of how I was trying out a new life there with my wife, and how, in the barber's chair that morning, I had made up my mind to go. I was thinking today about the calm I felt when I closed my eyes and let the barber's fingers move through my hair, the sweetness of those fingers, the hair already starting to grow.
