August Storms Again

One stormy August evening, I was sitting around in the house with the lights off (as I sometimes do) when I noticed that the street light coming through the windows was particularly pretty and the atmosphere quite moody.

I took a ten second clip of the moment, but wasn’t quite sure what to do with it. It sat around for a while. I knew I wanted to make an August poem about it, and around that time, I was making quite a lot of poems about August for some reason. But the poems that I had already wrote were too long to use for this short little clip.

This is the first time the film came before the poem.

As time went on, it was always in the back of my mind that I needed to write something for this 10 seconds of video. Finally, something came, and this was the result.
