Oh to be near you

At a time of great stress

In your marriage

In woodlands

In the autumn

In the age of psychodramas

Let us not pit our traumas

Against one another

For you will have mine beat

No doubt---upon reappraising

those career highlights.

 

If our roles change I hope

You will console me

Until night comes

Over hilltops

For our souls

And our roles in the shifting delusion

But-----and conjuring tormented 

spirits of melodrama let me say:

It is your motive and your hair

Your angst, your face, your way

That always the moonlight

Will favour, Bibi.

I was a bit bewlildered as to what made insert laugh. It wasn't until I - dare I say it? - googled Bibi Andersson that I realized what an ignorant cow I can be sometimes. lol. Now you've got me jonsing for an Ingmar Bergman film. And, Sean, it did make me laugh after a second read. Cheers, buddy.

Rich

PS. to come across as even more ignorant. When I first saw the photo, I said, "My, but Sean sure does have a beautiful girlfriend/wife. Ha.

In my dreams, Rich, in my dreams, she was mine, long ago.

If this wee thing does nothing else, I hope it would at least inspire people to seek out some Ingmar Bergman films to watch so I'm very pleased you're jonesing.

Mission accomplished. This has made me want to rewatch Wild Strawberries.
