Especially the ending couplet, and these lines:<br /><br />"He made love to her as if in timelapse"<br /><br />"The sun went off-kilter, tilting drunkenly into the further reaches"<br /><br />"What use, anymore, for filmmakers<br />or their gaudy chattering treasures wearing ridiculous gowns,<br />smiling automatically at the invading armies?"<br /><br />the description of the film container<br /><br />"Feeling bitchy and out of sorts, she joined the underground." (probably my favorite line)<br /><br />"It was her ingenue days all over again." (Ha!)<br /><br />"at a hotel in Suwanee, Georgia.<br />She ordered gin through a heavy accent" (I do love the <i>sound</i> of these words.)<br /><br />Great poem. :)Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212391351233448784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-91156620831636054362013-03-11T09:23:26.649-04:002013-03-11T09:23:26.649-04:00feel full, satisfied .. as if i just finished a go...feel full, satisfied .. as if i just finished a good bookDarylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241795455748298624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-27010166005665751172013-03-11T08:56:13.569-04:002013-03-11T08:56:13.569-04:00Reminded me of a fading silent film actress from (...Reminded me of a fading silent film actress from (Germany?) moving into the time of WWII.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08785980202145135916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-36990082193139130222013-03-11T02:45:53.935-04:002013-03-11T02:45:53.935-04:00This is like a loaded baked potato.
