Supafilm

Is it a cover version when you are covering your own material?

This is something I wrote over on The DarkThrow, the poetry site for my poems that don't always fit in with the Greville and the Tombstones image. However, I think this might find a life of sorts here in the Greville and the Tombstones catalogue too. If you like this, please hop over to The DarkThrow and tell your friends about others you like over there.


This is...  Supafilm

Taking sad photographs
On 24Supafilm spool.

Not sure if tide’s rolling in or out.
With a photograph, guess it’s hard to tell.

Turning a yearbook
Through a Japanese lens.

The developed print was blurred.
People called it societal commentary artwork.

Exposing intention
With a cherry bomb flash.

Framing was for all to view.
Everyone spoke to their own interpretation.

She took a photograph
on a 24Supafilm spool.
She tore it into pieces at night.
They dropped like sycamore seeds.

Don’t shoot at my heart.
Don’t shoot at my heart.
