Film-making and music-making have been the two main threads of my creativity over the five decades since my childhood. Since 2014 poetry film-making has especially fascinated me. After making more than 70 short videopoems with the writing of many poets around the world, the time has come to dare to share my own poetry, written only occasionally over years with neither study nor seriousness about myself as a poet. Here goes with one from 2018, called Oblique.
*
fascination goes
sideways through doorways
leaving displaced air
in its wake.
room to room it goes
travelling while dreams
muse and call in
an old restful place.
first one then
an other around
the plain spaces
dark matter awaits.
here is a map of
my once upon a
time and many.
hold on, go easy
and get there.
