SOHO ~ Cinematic Frame III: Tapestries
TAPESTRIES Tapestries on the walls, the ceiling, they bled the floor of feeling, that for sure, until her red couture Rouge blush and more. I’ll leave our kiss at the door, Though I begged and begged for more and more. How many poems has he written? There’s landscapes drawn on the framed walls, For the day at least it’s easy to see, endless dressing the soft wash of the sea, Endless days and doves fall in the swill and wash from above, who speaks of love, what kiss you gave on the train that day. Faded memory because it was a dream, you walk all the streets I haven’t seen. Fallen helpless by the corridor and daggers dug because it wasn’t me. Would the words simply say I’m sorry, End all the madness that’s wasn’t mad, My glow only faded by proximity, I wasn’t there and that made you rage. I wasn’t close enough to care, But afar I showed in my own careless way. I kissed your cheek and it was left by the sparrow’s way, left wayward, But with sweet kisses to another, The sweetest poison that was love. Every note was left hanging in the night, Cecily lantern washed upon the sand, The strings across the continent, Disappointed by the Broadway play and the train which escaped. Early dreams we wept, kept in the passenger seat of this sidecar from Brooklyn a perishing route that we took, all the doves we passed by died. This is where every plant and cactus dried sand at the bottom of the clay pots on your window sill, sink like silt, it’s the sunshine maybe the dust on the wire. Language lost to the passage of our tears, Croaking, choked and listless frogs fell from the sky upon the chasing rules on records bleeding favourites. Both Gods and music speak their songs. Listening in the deepest passages of you we curled up in the couches and sunlight just there when weed was meant to be, Meant to see another mist plush raincoat she did plead. ~ Laurence Fuller, 2024 Cinematic Poetry, written, produced and performed by Laurence Fuller AI Visuals and Music created by Laurence Fuller Soho Collection has been Curated by; The VerseVerse 'After Ginsberg' CryptGallery at Dream Hotel in Manhattan Lume Studios in Soho Nolcha Shows in NYC 'First Drop' exhibition by NueroNexus Featured Drop on Foundation
