The text culminates in the mention of a significant other who has communicated their affection through a message, suggesting that the scene being prepared is deeply personal and emotionally charged.

THE TENEBROUS SCENE

.

“THE TENEBROUS SCENE”, VERY LATE, FROM FAR ABOVE

THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR

.

near the end

Violaceous clouds could stir to nearing.

My mise en scene set, I’ll be blocking the shot,

Readying my stand-ins,

Cueing the soundtrack.

I’ll need special lenses to capture the light,

to be faithful to the script.

.

Our years had passed, right alongside our precious bonds of memory.

One light came into here, far brighter than the full- moonlight did,

Dead onto here —

She’s signed off on a missive to me

With

“Love, “
