I want to know all your favourite movies, friend

​

Please tell me, I want to watch them all

​

The Philadelphia Story, Blow Up and L’Avventura

​

Gaslight, Notorious and American Honey

​

No, I don’t know that one, but I will check it out

​

I want to feel the sparkling warmth of the wave

​

Which sweeps across the lagoon of your memories

​

A dog, a plant, Jimmy Stewart leaning over a windowsill

​

Michel and Patricia running towards the edge of tomorrow

​

Along the dimly lit streets of Paris, Texas

​

Play it again, Sam, because if I all I can do is watch, I will

​

Hoping to discover the truth in the shuddering clouds

​

Which linger over the dark mass of the Embassy at dusk

​

A quiet reminder of the last time I saw the glowing screen

​

Touching your face, a pallid rosebud doused in moonlight

​

I miss you, my friend, and I’m hoping to find in those flickering lights

​

The key to the silent box within which, that day, we sat side by side

​

And for a moment, we escaped the prison of our solitudes

​

Together in the dark.
