For The Weekend

 

 

 EARTHWEAL OPEN LINK # 82


the sensitive child

at a saturday movie matinee

shed tears

when she first heard

 the 'tubby the tuba' solo

 

 later on

when she heard this

on the wireless

one grey wintry afternoon

at her gran's house

a door opened

and stay opened

for the rest of her life

  3. I love this. I was fourteen when a boy I liked took me to see 101 Dalmatians. He laughed when I cried when Cruella was coming for the puppies. LOL.

  4. I think it was the orchestra accompaniment to a scene in "Puss In Boots" at the theater when I was 5 or so that showed a passage to the underworld cathedral. That door never closes again but its sometimes hard to find.
