Beautiful 💔

I'm glad you liked "The Swing."

Love, desire and some anguish. These are the ingredients of this poem about a love that may not be realized, or that is realized in a climate of permanent tension, in a way that leaves your mouth watering for more. A poem about a story that would make a great movie.

The story of "The Swing" reminds me a bit of "Taxi" by Harry Chapin and "Auld Lang Syne" by Dan Fogelberg, two of my favorite storytelling songwriters.
