THE LOVELY BONES: WHAT A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS

To put it mildly, The Lovely Bones (the movie) was a complete failure. I was dubious about seeing it, as the book ranks in my All Time Top Ten Novels. Which is always a dangerous thing when it comes to seeing an adaptation. Some might argue that you need to separate the book from the movie, and… Continue

This is expectation...

This is expectation
The same things that you were asked
These were your goals
The one's you failed in the past

This is expectation
Wear your jacket and hard hat
For stones will be cast
And they will hit you, you know that

This is expectation
pack your thoughts up, your opinions too
Because when you finally meet their expectation
There will be nothing left of you Continue

FROM SOPHIE CALLE TO VALENTINA

Often when I go to see a show, I happen to think about the basis on which the curator has decided on the set up and, then I really wonder if that person has followed a pattern, or if maybe he just believed in his taste, his instinct or in his sense of color.
I wonder then, how important is a really good layout, and if an exhibition that featurs works of low quality can truly becom… Continue

This is the rain

Falling from an ebony sky
It's white but still so blue
In the company of stars
And in the company of you

Hanging on the moon
Like a silver chandelier
Dancing in a place
So far but still so near

The rhythm is repetitive

The chair theory... to be continued

No not one, not even two
I have many chairs, many for you
Some for the laughter, some for the pain
Some for the sunshine, some for the rain
All these chairs fill up my space
But they never change the look of your face
No... That image is burnt in my mind
I could n… Continue

Insomnia

Good night to the night
A subtle poem
Show the change in the shore
Make them my own
Send me a question
With answers unknown
Dressed in white noise
Sing, dance, moan
Paint pictures with palettes
Made of the weather
Where Autumn leaves beat autumn winds… Continue

It sounds so simple and it is...

I live in the universe right next door to yours
You wave through the window
But you never come visit Continue

"End scene"

Every time you swing my way
You hit me with a sense of control Continue

We can sit and say nothing

Golden sighs for silent ties
That sit across a room
For all is one and one is all
And so they sit till noon

Bonds are made to break or build
In synthesis unchosen
With clasped hands, which tightly hold
A new star has been woken
Singi… Continue

About Bach and Stuff

I could never play Bach
A genius without a doubt
But I could never play him
Just too intense I guess
Everything too terraced
Which is ironic
If you consider this relative to my emotions
Too many notes
One on top of the other
My ears never… Continue

Untitled

I didn't get the memo
About the plastic birthday cake
I brought candles with a flame
So I could for you a proper birthday make

But you had other things on your mind
Other plans, commitments to fulfill
You made them way in advance
I knew, but I thought ma… Continue

The bookmark

I used to be so good at remembering the page numbers
To all the things I said
But now they seem to slip my mind
As soon as I lay in bed
It seems I need a bookmark to slip between those notes
So I don't waste time looking at something I've already read

Tap, t… Continue
