"Les Fleurs Du Mal"
Every single day a step to hell we take― Beauty is evil.
Just as the orchid opaques the tuberose.
And the tuberose to the rose recites:
"Oh my late flower
May the veil wither on juniper nights.
love chrysanthemum
Like the sun, God, you dye lilac
Thousand-scented dreams.
And hundreds of loves, not reached"
*
Beauty walks Death row
Announcing the burial of a deceased.
Magical cruelty, irascent Martyr
Walk seducing the native immortal.
*
Pain precedes triumph.
Triumph and loss: thousand triumphs.
There is no horror without guilt.
There is no life without death.
*
Title and subtitle inspired by Charles Baudelaire's book "Les Fleurs Du Mal".

I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series I’d penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.
