The Purpose of this Blog...



Originally, it was "To watch all the important films in World Cinema and write something intelligent in response."



It was an ambitious goal, and I was making some progress. I have slowed down considerably. This is still meant to be a blog of poetry about film. I may add some trivia or prose. I just added a poem about a cable series. It is an evolving project.

Careful (1992)


Shhh--careful!
Why do you crunch so loudly
on that apple?

See the tall transparent ladies
wearing bonnets and long dresses?


They are the victims themselves
of avalanches. They guard
this mountain town,
where daily life

is muffled in yellow brocade
and the air is velvet with fear
of one excess note. Only

sincere sound carries here,
like true lovers' words, yet
one stray reverberation

can kill us all with
a sudden downpour of
clean snow, or how about

we kill each other first?
