Black Cat
A ghost, though invisible, still is like a place
your sight can knock on, echoing; but here
within this thick black pelt, your strongest gaze
will be absorbed and utterly disappear:
just as a raving madman, when nothing else
can ease him, charges into his dark night
howling, pounds on the padded wall, and feels
the rage being taken in and pacified.
She seems to hide all looks that have ever fallen
into her, so that, like an audience,
she can look them over, menacing and sullen,
and curl to sleep with them. But all at once
as if awakened, she turns her face to yours;
and with a shock, you see yourself, tiny,
inside the golden amber of her eyeballs
suspended, like a prehistoric fly.

" Cinema is the art of ghosts, a battle of phantoms.Thats what I think the cinema's about when, its not boring. It is the art of allowing ghosts to come back. "
And that a winged Mercury did bear:
Some tardy cripple bare the countermand,
That came too lag to see him buried...
in a tiny dark room-
-Richard the 3rd
Hey Tracey how are you and Sebastian? I've been working hard with Vedra on my documentary hoping to release it at the Berlin Film Festival in February. Kimbo is doing better I'm happy to say. Come by soon for a visit.
