- Reminiscence of familiar past.

Memoir/Film-poetry
Aparajito, by Satyajit Ray

Light shimmers through hallway,
	A familiar shadow,
		Casted along the sideway.
And it fades,
	Into a thousand flashbacks,
		Each in its own way,
			Hardens the step,
			        the clap,
Oh joy,
	Why are you so far away,
		For a distant past to come in a day?

		and kiss and strangle
		
			, gently,
	When there is time on the other side.

- In search of a lost pond.

Romance/Nostalgic Memoir
Malèna, by Giuseppe Tornatore

Clouds are low again,
	Where to find the rain,
		Other than the preacher's gain?
Moods are low again,
	But that distant blue,
		Would strike a memorable fool?
Grounds are low again,
	How do you sit down at the pond,
		And not see that blonde?
				Breathe.
				Love.

		Her feet are circling on the border
Audition
	Never make excuses in a wet condition

Shockumentary/Horror
, by

Memory is a bodily fluid,
	It can flow like water,
		spring like sand.
	Behold the crystal skull,
		of thy beloved shoulder,
			dislocated into an unsigned folder.
	Lest thy lung breathe,
		from the new air steamed from the water,
			of thy lifted look in the quarter.
Such is life,
	it passes when you least expect the knife.
