Picture taken while visiting in Chicago. Didn't like the straightforward angle I had so I improvised a little. I think it works.

In the end
There was no-one to see
No helicopters in the sky the next day
Or the day after
No-one was searching
'Cause no-one knew he was missing

[Anja Garbarek "Can I Keep Him"]

They are forbidden to be together, yet they spend the nights in each others arms. As day breaks, they must return to their own land...or risk being caught, and all the peril that entails.

They have called the place they say farewell each new day: Parting Bridge.
