FIN
it is the end of the movie
which I mistakenly took
as the endibg of the reel
left me stuck there
in that place
expecting conclusio
expecting resolution
as if
such things
ever existed
simply
exist
in the world today

This is hauntingly beautiful Damien —a quiet meditation on expectation versus reality. The way you weave the metaphor of a film reel into the ache of waiting for closure is so powerful. That final turn, “as if / such things / ever existed / simply / exist / in the world today,” lands with such quiet truth. It doesn’t offer false comfort, but instead a kind of honest solidarity. Lovely and deeply resonant.🤝
