Watched "Train Dreams" last night. 2023, director Clint Bentley. Based on the novella by Denis Johnson.

I had avoided watching this film because I knew it would require my full emotional attention, and I wasn't sure I could give it that attention.

Do not miss this film.

This film is a poem. Let it speak to you.

A film that shows a life lived with few words.

(The life lived had few words. The film showing it has few words.)

A film about loss and grief, among other things. The deepest loss, the deepest grief. Also about work, racism, integrity, friendship, all those things, each quietly allowed to show itself.

A long, quiet, sad, life-affirming poem. An elegy.

The Maker or The Clay — An Arrow in the Void

The Maker or The Clay — An Arrow in the Void
by Stewart Stafford

A flatline sermon on cardiac arrhythmia,
Pulsing tone-beings, evolving past instinct.
A Tower of Babel of elevated thought
Or foundational hubris of divine architecture?

The sole creature knowingly stalked by time —
A trap witnessed, endured, then subverted,
Painfully lucid throughout the procedure,
To cast off the sentient, earthly millstone.

Jousting with transience via lanced invention,
Only what is conceived survives as legacy.
All fleshly matter dies, withers, and recycles;
Doing is being; the remnant is the void.

Synthetic progeny sired in silicon —
The technocrat archer reaims into the infinite.

A Sunday elegy for my earbud munched by a voracious fluff.

Ah, brave earbud, lost too soon,

Silenced mid-chorus, no warning.

You played sweet tunes - now you’re gone,

Digested with pride at dawning.

No grave for you, no stone, no weep -

Just a squeaky toy and a clean bill of health…

Though I still hear your final beep -

Rest in pieces, lost to the fluff.

"Elegia Pacis"

Inventor of the Forge, I swear
The Day you forced a breath of air
Across red coals is cursed for all.
For Axe has yielded to the Maul,
And Farmer to the armored Knight.
The Shield and Sword are shining bright
While Rake and Plow are left to rust…
And all our dreams are turned to Dust.
