LIFE IS A HORIZONTAL FALL ( Hommage à Jean Cocteau )
LIFE IS A HORIZONTAL FALL
( Hommage à Jean Cocteau )
"Come. . !" said the poem
taking me by the hand
& leading me inside
my self
finding the right words
& binding them together
so that they
became a teardrop
that didn't...couldn't
fall
like a lie
that was the only truth.
***
The title comes from a Jean Cocteau quote. I fell in love with his movies when I was 12 and still adore them....poetry in motion
***
"Poets don't draw. They unravel their handwriting and then tie it up again, but differently."
JEAN COCTEAU
