Love came to my door

With a sleeping roll
And a madman's soul
He thought for sure I'd seen him
Dancing up a river in the dark
Looking for a woman
To court and spark

He was playing on the sidewalk
For passing change
When something strange happened
Glory train passed through him
So he buried the coins he made
In People's Park
And went looking for a woman
To court and spark

It seemed like he read my mind
He saw me mistrusting him
And still acting kind
He saw how I worried sometimes
I worry sometimes

"All the guilty people," he said
They've all seen the stain-
On their daily bread
On their christian names
I cleared myself
I sacrificed my blues
And you could complete me
I'd complete you

His eyes were the color of the sand
And the sea
And the more he talked to me
The more he reached me
But I couldn't let go of L.A.
City of the fallen angels

Joni Mitchell
"Court and Spark"
1974

Beautiful...

I'd love to read your Russian stuff... I can't.

You are a hot lady, Anna, and so interesting. Are you majoring in Literature? I love most of your favorites books and your movies... actually I had not heard of many of them.

I liked that you included "Lolita", which I didn't but it's one of my absolute all time favorites (the book by Nabokov and the Stanley Kubrick movie) I did not like "Stalker," though. I slept through it and I could talk to you about the dreams I had but I don't remember the movie, only that there was a dog in it.

By the way, do you speak some Spanish?
