Tarkovsky-esque
flames and mirrors flash
windows and rain, pan on screen
reflective pools, still
lines, l o n g d r a w I n g gaze
light, topographic texture
shade; toxic mixture
ambient perspective
people together, alone
all moving me home

Thanks RBK.
I don't think I'd ever heard of Tarkovsky til now. Another stepping stone across the artistic river of discovery.

Hi Red Brick,
Your poem paints an impressionistic scene inspired by Tarkovsky's films, filled with reflective imagery, long moments of contemplation, and a sense of movement between isolation and connection. For me, it conveys a deep, almost spiritual journey, where the external world—through light, water, and landscapes—mirrors the inner emotional or philosophical journey of the self. The "moving me home" could suggest a return to a state of inner peace, understanding, or resolution, a theme frequently found in Tarkovsky’s work. Well done!

Thanks Rolph and Uilleam! 🌷🌷🌷 I do believe that there is a spiritual process, transaction and movement in all art (literary, visual, performing, etc) may we all find our equilibriate (art) and its path to ‘home.’ Most humbled by your validation. 🙏🏻🕊🌷
