what is it?
that sound, that thing
is it
something far away
water falling onto stones
voices whispering
is it something you don’t recognise
a scene from a film you’ve forgotten
a book you read somewhere, sometime
call people you know and ask them what it is
write to everyone in Sweden if that will help
perhaps nothing will
sometimes even the people in Sweden can’t help
paul might indicate a line of enquiry
although then again…
sadness might follow any action that you consider prudent
the specifics of love may escape you
the lure of the past may pull you under
synchronicity is not guaranteed, indeed may be unwelcome
the fruits of a life spent walking, talking and being you
may not lead to whatever conclusion you may have been thinking of
however, rule nothing in or out
it may all work out in the end

Just how wise ARE the Swedes?
This is great. Seems like so much may be unknown, just out of reach, maybe.
Ah yes, our friends in Sweden. A few days ago I was watching some YouTube clips of a film called Songs From The Second Floor by a Swedish director called Roy Andersson. Very strange, haunting stuff. I think this may have triggered the reference here but didn't make the connection until just now. Think I may have to see the whole film and immerse myself in it - might produce some interesting poems!
