Apertures (a brighter darkness)
2020, super 8 to digital, black & white, silent, 03:00
and just as the swelter plateaus toward a vertical horizon
the curtain falls flat in motion
a hinge unlatches from sill
and a slab of paint is finally relieved, alighting
- the window continues to open
and the window continues to open, continuing so -
so that it has gone off the frame
a swift and constant horizontal horizon
forever opening, panes gradually dispersing
in effulgence sought,
fluctuating frames gone catapult
