Welcome to my little apartment in Budapest! I tidied up and made it nice for you. Budapest is painted in love for me, for a thousand-and-one reasons, but chiefly because you can get poppy-seed cake there.
I make music there; I follow a spiritual path there; I broke my heart there; I broke my rib there; I contracted pneumonia there; I prayed for my life there; I try to retrieve my soul there; I try and understand my life there.
I had a love there...
Now I rent this little apartment right opposite the Western Railway station. It's in one of those grand old nineteenth-century buildings designed by Parisians, with a courtyard, ornate wrought-iron railings, and thirty-three doors which triple-lock satisfyingly, as if you've cracked the code of the master safe with the crown jewels inside it. The ceilings are so high that a mezzanine has been built for the bed, with stairs so dizzyingly steep that you need a Sherpa to guide you up. The view from the bed down to the ground is positively Himalayan.
Before I ever set foot in Budapest I dreamt of the Western Railway station, without even knowing of its existence. My psyche seemed to know I was to have business here! And by chance I was offered a room right in that location!
Over the road under the arch is a little Bio cake-shop, at pretty much the exact location where an enchantress waited for me in my dream. That connection became real. Now I get breakfast there, most days.
It's a love-song about loss. At home, when I hurt I tend to cook spaghetti.
