Movie projectors

After I John 4:7-12

We are movie projectors,

humming as the film is fed

into us or the pixels

permeate circuits and lines

in the glow, the light,

the light begins to shine

from within, the audience

isn’t focused on the projector

behind but on the screen

in front as the reflection,

the illumination,

the Codex Filmaticus,

appears. It is the light within

the projector that glimmers

to the screen, wrapped and

colorized, beauty filled

with surprise and wonder.
