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
