i felt as if invisible threads from her hair still twisted themselves around me,
and when she completely disappeared there over the ocean,
then i felt still how it hurt where my heart bleed,
because the threads could not be broken
very raw and beautiful material, do you know Georg Trakl?

ReplyDeletePeter Watkins is the most important filmmaker of the second half of the twentieth century.
