Notes #15 - Cinema (III)

(Sansho Dayu, 1954)

Uncertain radioscopy
like us
but probably exact
in the dosage between shadow and calcium
of its architecture
millimetrically internal,
at last
the spectacle turns
into the viewer itself
and now it dwells
the fluidity of blood:
every outside image
stuck to the frame that has been,
from eyeball to eyeball is destroyed.
