Cinema

Grey light
Unfurls
Venetian blinded.
“Viene, viene la mattina”

Limbs rattle, shake,
Grind and snake.
Muscle ache
Give, then take.

Lids flicker
Thoughts, thicker,
Pasty recollections,
Dreamy reflections.

Images, reduced to memory
Sharpen focus.
Hocus pocus.
Frame after frame.

Still,
This boiling cinema
Reels
Between my eyes.
