Ross Moore
Warsaw
Having given up documentary
to document actors, it was almost inevitable
that the director would cut himself from the script entirely.
The foggy mountain home
never materialised.
Instead, the rain keeps falling,
the un-chopped wood is still part
of a heart-breaking forest.
The morning had been as clear and defined as ice
when he left with the work completed, the bottle emptied,
and all the day to come.
