Ingmar Bergman I

Dark, liquid emptiness
flows through the veins 
of his films

It floods through 
their glass bloodstream, 
reaches out into their fingertips, and blossoms, 

like a dark and evil flower in springtime

This was great Samuel. A perfect description of a legend. The darkness drips from your words, while the admiration peeks out from between the lines

You nailed it again, my friend! You really got the tone. Great description of the piece. Thanks for the read.

Short and powerful. "like a dark and evil flower in springtime" - such a wonderful metaphor. The images you create with your writing are so vivid. An outstanding poem.

Thank you Julie! This poem really came to me all at once, and it was not hard to say these things about Ingmar Bergman if you have seen one of his films.
