Чанове, зидове, водно колело и Мария Нейкова ("Двама")

Cattle bells, stonewalls, a waterwheel and Maria Nejkova ("Twain")




In my blood the mellifluous sound of чанове [chanove] - cattle bells
ripple along ancient stonewalls - зидове [zidove] reverb no hollowness -
succulent greens and a thirsty waterwheel far from the bubbling stream, eager
to hear taut strings strum to an old song "Двама" [Dvama] - "Twain" from
a classic Bulgarian movie of struggle : primal instincts, violence, revenge,
love and death in one. Козият Рог [Kozijat Rog] - The Goat Horn, 1971.
Bits of all these intertwined in my being. To. Be. I.

  2. Laurie's words felt profound to me also. Peaceful.
    Strange they found their way here, in this most eclectic/eccentric entry of mine.
    Thank you, Iulia. Hugs.
