Magpie Tales #137

It Must Be Time For Lunch Now, 1979, by Francesca Woodman


If I had three wishes
Or a life to re-live
I'd be in Italy
Rewinding my Leica
Filming a happier end

  15. It should have been a happier end shouldn't it but we are never to know how some minds work - or don't as the case may be.

    I like this - so much in a few lines. I love Italy.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
