stills from an unfinished poem

(2023)

bed with shadows of horizontal window blinds on sheets
ceiling fan turning
flower with pedals being plucked by hands
hands holding a closed pocket watch
open pocket watch being wound
hand going through brown hair
branches of a tree in autumn
hands opening curtains
close up of wide open eyes
music sheets strung up on a wall like lashes
ear reflected upside down in small circular vanity mirror
hand flipping on light switch
string lights balled up and hung on a wall against shadow of a head
index knuckle wiping away runny mascara and eyeliner on teary eye
a Persian alphabet letter that looks like a greater than symbol left on index knuckle from wiping away eyeliner
tightly fisted hand held at chest of a woman wearing a black sweater
blurry image of a mouth in mid sentence with Persian subtitle
open hand held across necklace and chest of a woman wearing a black sweater
shadow of a body walking past music sheets strung up on wall
tree trunk with fallen leaves on ground
