A SCREAMING
The clop clop of horses hooves
Sounds through dawning reproves
Space gapes through empty tomb
Void of conclusions now to subsume
Then pinched Pilate, the great Caeasar
To quiet this screaming non-Balthasar
This is not what we came to see

The Projectionist’s Nightmare
This is the projectionist’s nightmare:
A bird finds its way into the cinema,
Finds the beam, flies down it,
smashes into a screen depicting a garden,
a sunset and two people being nice to each other.
Real blood, intestines, slither down
the likeness of a tree.
“This is no good,” screams the audience,
“This is not what we came to see.”

I can hear the scream! Vividly done. I especially like the clop clop of the horses' hooves.
