Something Thursday

I’d like to say something

Thursday real

For the tenth of February

2022

Partly cloudy

(mostly cloudy at the moment)

Unseasonably warm,

Which is a good message

In and of itself

An old movie’s on

Featuring George Raft

Whom I haven’t seen or heard

Before

Many fell for him

Maybe there was swooning

I think he’s all right

The film is rather noir

So everything’s restrained

Except the violent parts

Nothing like

The violence in the movies now

You know this

In fact, the film’s in black and white

Though the blood looks

Real enough

To me

Sun is out

My black-and-white day

Is changing into

Living color

C L Couch

(the movie is Nocturne, 1946)

I prefer Christopher in conversation. In writing, I use C L Couch because it’s a genderless form of my name and, frankly, easier—I have severe writer’s cramp. I mean to be a poet writing spiritual and occasional verse. The photographs used permanently here—for the banner, for my profile—were taken by Debra Danielson, a photographer and friend. You may enjoy more of her work at debra.danielson.org. If you would credit me when quoting my work, I'd be thankful. As I am thankful for your presence here.
