The Hummingbird's Hymn
I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings...
Wondering what it might be like
To run, wild, away with you, just
As wild witches in the night.
-
Giddiness together my heart
Beat is set aflutter, dew from
An idea, shut down before dawn.
-
For, I keep her locked away, my
Nameless Bird, while she stays —lingers
Longing at the edge of her gate,
Humming in harmony with yours…

Delicious Nightmares
There is nothing novel in the observation that a good cinema experience is akin to a waking dream. We sit in darkness and become enveloped in a world of images that we piece together to form a narrative. Sometimes the images overpower us and we struggle with the paralysis of a nightmare. And then the lights come back up and we take a breath to remember it was not real, we were not in that car crash, we were not in a fight, we were not a lover being romanced. And we need a moment between the last credit and the real world to gather our thoughts to find meaning in what we have seen.
