Opening soon: the Owl Light Cinema
Altarwise by owl-light in the halfway house
The gentleman lay graveward with his furies;
Abaddon in the hangnail cracked from Adam,
And, from his fork, a dog among the fairies,
The atlas-eater with a jaw for news,
Bit out the mandrake with to-morrows scream.
Then, penny-eyed, that gentleman of wounds,
Old cock from nowheres and the heaven's egg,
With bones unbuttoned to the half-way winds,
Hatched from the windy salvage on one leg,
Scraped at my cradle in a walking word
That night of time under the Christward shelter:
I am the long world's gentleman, he said,
And share my bed with Capricorn and Cancer
Ok, so I have no idea what this Dylan Thomas poem is about and the above photos might not illustrate what this strange and dark poem conveys but I thought it was a good name for my garage cinema. And why not throw in a baby to make it more cute. Take that D.T.!
