Dreams of a life ...

... is a film directed by Carol Morley about Joyce Vincent, an enigmatic beautiful woman living in London, whose dead body was discovered 3 years after she died.  It has been on my shelf waiting to be watched, but it is a difficult film at so many levels, raising so many pessimistic questions; Do we all truly die alone? Can we ever truly know someone?  It is a psychoanalytic minefield and the individuals I see at A&E take on a completely different meaning.... 


Watch me fall from grace
Disappear with no trace
As I try to erase you
Feel the pain and watch me bleed
Surely this is not what I need


Shut out everyone
And watch me run
Lay me under the sun
So cold I have become
Now that I have been undone
- "Undone" by Alice Temple
