He sits in the space where nothing begins, A man folded into himself, his hands still, as if waiting to explain what the world refuses to ask.
The shutters are closed, the light withdrawn, and yet the graffiti hums— a hymn of guilt, a language he cannot speak, scribbled by ghosts who pass unnoticed.
Behind him, the city vanishes, its weight pressed into his spine. He is no longer afraid of falling; the earth has already claimed him.
Is this the moment the world forgets him? Or the moment he forgets the world? The air thickens with questions, each heavier than the silence they fill.
Gull on Asphalt it started with a crack of light, a wet push into the cold, and the sky—always the sky— waiting to swallow you whole. you learned fast.
claws on stone, wings slicing the wind like knives. you laughed at gravity, but sickness hit like a sudden storm, a sharp crack in the clear sky, leaving you stunned, spiraling, ground rushing up too fast to fight.
one day the wind felt heavier, the horizon farther. and then—this.
blood on the pavement, feathers bent wrong, the sky doesn’t even care.
Ennio Morricone’s contribution to the world of music, especially film music, stands as a testament to his unparalleled genius. Over a career spanning more than six decades, Morricone composed over 400 film and television scores, in addition to more than 100 classical works. His music is not just a backdrop to the films it accompanies; it is an integral part of the storytelling process, often conveying more emotion, tension, and drama than the dialogue or visuals themselves.
This week’s show features some of his greatest compositions, for film.

Some cheap plastic piece of crap sitting in the weeds, leaning against a wall that hasn’t seen a fresh coat in twenty years.
Dwayne—whoever the hell he is— probably punched a hole in the drywall, kicked the dog, yelled at the neighbors for parking too close. they stuck him out here to sweat it out.
but now the chair’s alone, just like the rest of us.
Standing steady above the bar, A red glow against the geometry of walls, Illuminated through his plastic skin, Abiding warmth in the darkest nights.
Santa, unswerved amid chaos, Beckons the timeless mirror of imagination, Reflecting anticipation, Bestowing rewards for those
Who sustain unwavering belief in the spirit of hope, His gaze fixed on it all down below, An emblem of steadfast persistence when The season shifts from festivity to memory.
Boho Dreams of Space and Time
