Sometimes, Roy, I just let my imagination get the best of me. Somehow, I don't think a reprieve was granted.
I agree, Paulette. A smile is as good for you as a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice.
What a creatively powerful and well-wrought testimony! A depth of thought and feeling that inspires.
This is extremely beautiful language, and from start to finish the poem maintains the mystery of what the fluid and the vial might be — love, eroticism, some deep relationship, a misunderstanding? All seem possible.
Once again, ABB dazzles all of us with his skill in producing videos. This one is mesmerizing.
An exquisite poem, a perfect production, and a beautiful reading. Thank you!
One is never disappointed by watching and listening to an ABB video.
What a great poem / parable / cautionary tale. So much wrapped up so economically in verse.
And what great musical accompaniment and visuals.
Well done on this aural and visual collaboration, Patricia and Andrew.
