Cinema

what it is

We stare holes

in the dark air,

we are all together but far apart

holding hands like 

a cut-out

from Matisse;

a wrapped box

of unsteady futures,

a breath baked like a cake.

Then the surprise

when the light returns;

we have lost the tenancy of heaven.

it is like suspended animation of the human element...we watch, we listen, we are still, holding our breaths for what we see next.
and then the light returns and we are back to our realities...the ones we so happily left for a span of about two hours.
