dedalus Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 My love has teeth in her glittering eyes, as hard as diamonds as sharp as a nail: I rarely fail in my obsequious homage to keep her pleasant, to keep her off my tail as these things go; we are prey to the people we meet, and meat to the people we know. In Budapest, not so many months ago at that uneasy Hilton hotel that overlooks the Chain Bridge high on the Buda hill, I looked down on the domed and spiky Parliament above the Donau/ Danube/ Dvina, greygreen, historical, insistent, and thought I saw you My heart leaped, it went boom. No, no, no! Some other girl. I need some room where you won’t chase me, not over Eastern Europe, not even from 3rd to 5th Avenue, and in time, who knows? Everything will work out fine so I tell myself, scratching my head, looking over my shoulder, wishing at times I were dead. I know it is just a matter of fate: the girl has only to sit and wait.

dr_con Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Delightfully wicked, and for me a much truer than I would like bit of relational comedy/commentary/fantasy. I laughed uncomfortably. Good show (as THEY say) Juris Quote thegateless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Loved those opening lines which made me smile as I thought of the more traditional "O my Luve's like a red red rose That's newly sprung in June..." B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
