1.
There is a small breeze
Wind currents provide the lift
Chimes measure the air
2.
Smoke coils from her lips
She taps her foot in time
Heavy metal song
3.
On the film, a gun
Foreboding of a shot fired
There will be a death
4.
This life is a noir
Everything in shadow
The accident reel
5.
Would this be fiction
A story told by proxy
This is not a pipe
6.
It’s the heat, the heat
Breathing under the water
A bead of sweat down
7.
The verdict is out
A humid testimony
A lie under oath
8.
My false alibi
Backing into a corner
It’s an airtight case
9.
This in black and white
Scratched and dusty negative
Distressed grainy positives
10.
All symbolism
All in the private meanings
All that’s in a dream
