A collections of dreamlike images relating to the cinema of Russion filmmaker and theorist Andrei Arsenyevich Tarkovsky, creator of such classics as 'Stalker' and the original 'Solaris'. A shamanic incantation - very Patti.
"Black moon shines on a lake, white as a hand in the dark" and '"Come along, sweet lad, fog rises from the ground" seem inspired by scenes from the film 'Ivan's Childhood'.
The wasteland of the Zone from 'Stalker' (a cinematic rendering of the Strugatsky Brother's novel 'Picnic Area') is referenced in the lines "The telegraph poles are crosses on the line, rusted pins, not enough saviors to hang,"
The planetary imagery evokes 'Solaris' with it's space station orbiting a mysterious and deadly planet.
"The bridge of magpies" evokes the famous Chinese myth of the cowherd and the weaver girl, where magpies form a bridge once a year to allow the lovers to meet. The myth is celebrated in the Chinese Qixi festival.
