Cinemoment - LOTR

Apparently I’m a woman of many Blog post strings:  Scruples, MiTunes, and introducing - the Cinemoment.  It’s probably evident by the name that these posts are snapshots from my favorite films.  And that said, I suppose it’s only proper to inaugurate the Cinemoment string with a scene from the most captivating epic (book) and movie trilogy ever made: The Lord of the Rings.

Enjoy.

And, because it’s Friday, here’s an added bonus.  Fast-forward to 4:40.

Gabriel's Hymn: A postcard's narrative (12/4/11)

I prophesy

From the dusty wilderness of
The corkboard square she pinned me to:
Next to and off the map
Which tracks
In white string and orange tacks
The route
A yellow star paperclip
Settling above
Each port
Announcing his arrival.

I: the harbinger from Cape Town.

It was like Advent,
Sitting in her tiny campus mailbox,
Waiting for the seraphic chorus
Of key's teeth chattering into keyhole.

I could’ve glowed
In her smooth hands:
Nail-bitten more than usual
For reasons obvious and unknown.

How blessed to be a herald of the
Good News!,
Gabriel’s hymn:

“Everything is beautiful here:
You’d fit right in.”
