Το σπίτι μας
Το σπίτι μας
έχει τη μορφή του σώματος
της μάνας μου.
Εκείνη έχει μελανιά στο χέρι
και στο σπίτι έχει σπάσει
ένα ντουλάπι της κουζίνας.
Η μελανιά της μάνας μου
ξεθώριασε με τον καιρό.
Το ντουλάπι στο σπίτι
μαστορεύτηκε όπως όπως.
Ενίοτε το σπίτι μας
έχει τη μορφή του σώματος
του πατέρα μου.
Εκείνος έχει γρατζουνιές
στο πρόσωπο και στα χέρια,
και στο σπίτι υπάρχουν σπασμένα γυαλιά
στο πάτωμα.
Οι γρατζουνιές με το καιρό φεύγουν
και τα σπασμένα γυαλιά
κάποιος τα μαζεύει.

Através de uma abordagem documental interativa, pretendo versar sobre a temática da comunicação em tempos de crise, utilizando uma narrativa assente no conceito de documentary poetry.
O documentário que resultará desta pesquisa tem como intuito sensibilizar e preprarar o espectador para possíveis cenários de crise pelos quais possa vir a passar. Paralelamente, procuro explorar diferentes formas de produzir um documentário que se revele impactante e que promova a literacia desse mesmo tema.

Happy birthday Wilfred Owen! (b. 18th March 1893)
↳ Know that since mid-September, when you still regarded me as a tiresome little knocker on your door, I held you as Keats + Christ + Elijah + my Colonel + my father-confessor + Amenophis IV in profile.
What's that mathematically?
In effect it is this: that I love you, dispassionately, so much, so very much, dear Fellow, that the blasting little smile you wear on reading this can't hurt me in the least.
If you consider what the above Names have severally done for me, you will know what you are doing. And you have fixed my Life – however short. You did not light me: I was always a mad comet; but you have fixed me. I spun round you a satellite for a month, but I shall swing out soon, a dark star in the orbit where you will blaze.

my (very nice and cool aside from the story) professor today asked us, as an introduction to the next thing on syllabus, what our names were (it's very few of us there) and what we like in this life.
when my turn came, i told her i liked reading. she asked: "oh, that's great! what kind of books? do you like the mystery genre?", to which i replied: "not much, to be honest, haha; i actually prefer romance novels and historical fiction."
WHAT was i SUPPOSED to admit right there? that the gayer and more diverse in general the book the better? that i have read rwrb five-six times by now and every time i read dear thisbe, i wish there weren't a wall. love, pyramus, my throat feels tight all of the sudden? that i cry over poetry and i was one of the only people that read the iliad for fun after the school year ended when i was fourteen and get chills when consuming queer and poc history non-fiction books, or that i recommend books that shatter my heart and rip it right out of my chest with their bare, cold, bloody hands? hm?
(anyway, despite this fun fact thing combined with my social anxiety, she is actually such a wonderful professor, fucking finally if you ask me)

Mewmew and Evilicus look at the night sky together.
Dark blue, dotted, lit by thousands of sparkly stars, covered in constellations like delicate lace. The moon, shining beside them with it's light so lonesome, yet amplified by the glitter around it, and fueled by the overlasting light of the sun.
"This is what made Mya want to do space travel in the first place. Ever since I was a little kitty, I looked nyout there with such awe. I've never recovered from it. It still takes my breath away!" Mewed the heroic one.
The dark lord, in turn, stands frozen. Indeed, their breath also taken away - but unlike in awe, it's caught hitched in their throat. It's wriggling like a caged snake in their lungs. The open vastness so dark and inviting, yet full of light. Full.. Of Stars - ones that function just like the one that could sear the demon's opened skin, if left to it's devices. The one that hangs over the earth with an oppressive heat. Stars like that one. Full of the lot of them.
The horror of it should almost be beautiful.
But it's not.
They take a step backwards, in stunned silence. But it's nothing. A hundred steps would be nothing. The same open sky would still engulf them. The open sky, so unbearably bleeding with light from it's dark flesh. It could fall. It could come absolutely, entirely crashing down, and there's nowhere to flee. It surrounds you. It suffocates you. Consumes you.
They attempt to take a step, and falter to their knees. The armor suddenly feels loose, and way too open around the demon. It should be tighter. It's not tight enough. It never will be, against all that.
"Nyevilicus?" the meow falls on deaf ears. Blood is too loud rushing through them.
Dizzy.
The world is sinking around them.
Too big.
Too many stars.
The cosmos will swallow you whole and the earth is it's plate.
The tips of their fingers grow cold and numb with anxiety, as blood pools on the back of the dark lord's head. Thudding. Like a countdown.
Thudding. The dark lord falls to the ground in weakness.
They only come to again, in the fuzzy staticky darkness, of Mewmews guest room. The world slowly returns back to surround Evilicus, along with all senses - carefully crawling back in like a snail out of it's shell. Their chest feels heavy, but fortunately, so does the darkness around them. Evilicus falls asleep from the exhaustion soon after.
Next time Mewmew looks at the night sky alone.

the boy in striped pajamas: my sentiments
rating: 9.8/10
warnings: spoilers ahead + emotional damage (be prepared)
this was in my bucket list for quite some time, and i’ve only gone around to watching it a few days ago. to be frank, i’m still recovering, and i’ll probably never truly recover from this drastically touching cinematic masterpiece.
bruno was the son of an auschwitz’s commandant who moved his family to the countryside for work duties. in my eyes, bruno’s character was so beautifully human. unbothered by the atrocities currently happening, he remains curious and compassionate within his little bubble of innocence. he questions unashamedly, about the strange horrid smell coming from the “farm's” chimneys, (from the burning of jews), about the numbers on shmuel’s so-called pajamas (a jewish boy whom he had befriended).
unfortunately, purity never sustains in our blood-wrenched world. in the end, bruno’s death was a karmic result of the nazi regime, and his father’s ignorance and failure to protect him. it saddens me deeply knowing he died believing his father was a rightful man. he died thinking he’d find shmuel’s father in the concentration camps. he died so unknowingly. what breaks me the most, was he died gripping the hands of his beloved friend, shmuel, inside that gas chamber. i’m not lying when if i tell you i cried for three hours straight after this movie. it’s infuriating, knowing this wasn’t just made-up, stuff like this has happened, and honestly, they’re still happening! how could anyone let these children be stripped away of their humanity and futures like this? how does ethnic identity completely decide your social mobility? how is it justifiable in any way for genocide to even be worshipped?
therefore it’s such a provoking thought knowing if we could just entirely eradicate everything we’ve known about something and approach it through our intrinsic nature, perhaps we would've been so much more connected to our roots: to merge into a mere species, the human race. sometimes i wonder if current and past societies removed all the societal structures, the ingrained bigotries and biases within themselves, would racism and exclusion of marginalized groups ever exist in the first place? would i be able to kiss a person without the fear of being discriminated against? would the gender wars between man and woman become an incomprehensible notion? would we be able to finally collectively strive for the common greater good? would the generation of our offspring still have to worry about whether they’re going to be competent enough for the work market? so many questions and none can be answered. so many voices and none were heard. so many potentials, but none fulfilled.
overall, the film articulately depicts the true horrors of war and the tragic consequences it enforces. every scene was so raw, so full of emotions and authenticity. i would watch this again, probably just to feel something, even if i might be more emotionally damaged from being reminded of the devasting aftermath of bruno and shmuel’s forbidden comradeship.

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
of every glove that laid him down
or cut him till he cried out
in his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving."
But the fighter still remains
Lyrics: The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel

We are working on our first film, El Turista Imaginario! It takes place in Trinidad de Cuba and is about Luis Martinez, a poet who travels the world through his mind and his pen but has never been further than 100 miles from his hometown.
Luis is unlike anyone I’ve ever met and Cuba is unlike a place I’ve ever been. It’s my first time putting together a feature length film and it’s like piecing together a giant puzzle. I fuckin love it!!
Will be posting more updates on the process here!
