Green Book
I watched a film called Green Book last night,
About a black classical pianist’s plight,
Featuring: good cops, and bad cops

Movies at Midnight
Streams of consciousness,
Trapped in a panoply of celluloids
And abandoned plastic films,
Catch my eye.
I share them on the big screen

They inch closer to me.

With secrets and whispers
That I've heard before

And pain hardly noticed.
Everyday heroes with strength in your limbs
Your drive and passion a...

You can't Streep poverty under the carpet... - NaPoWriMo Day 9
A silence fell upon the city,
contorted shadows twisting moonlight.
Stuttering in a speakeasy seemed so misplaced
bottles rattled flickering like Fedora feathers
in an unforgiving wind.
The wretched odour of deprivation
a stench that sticks and degrades ones existence.
Even by day this city remains a lifeless sap
and by night the vampires feast on th...

Natalie. Roberto
Oh my dear friend Roberto. I remember back to our time, when we made love. Not the last time but the time before. When you were doing your college film studies and were so happy on your future.
