    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.

    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.
