Moleskin, hold my memory
I sit on the floor and cut out pictures from yellowed postcards I collected in Amsterdam. Carefully, I apply Elmers’s glue to the back of the images, calculating just the right amount to avoid unintentionally binding the pages together. Cut, glue, paste, repeat. The antiquated pictures of the Rijksmuseum and the Rembrandt house stand out like a stain on the fresh white sheets of my green Moleskine notebook. I wave the book through the air in an attempt to get the glue to dry faster.
