a little while ago


A little while ago,
I thought I saw this night
Pretend. And look away.
Turning brighter,
Growing lighter,
Allowing, some warmth, as if the sun, to me.

Then she pretended to turn back.
Turning back. Again.
And all that warmth,
And all that light.
Was nothing but pain.
From a little while ago.

Agonising…strokes across his erect nipples…lower, lower, reaching for meaning. He turned away from me and pulled back into my body, spooning. My fingers went lower and found him….enough There’s a bicycle ride that will bring me music and his smile. I am cared for... We ha...

Grand Ecole (2003) France; Robert Salis (Director)

Grande Ecole is an ordinary French film with a message that people don't ordinarily care about. The potential for love is explored so interestingly in this film that I wondered if it was just because it's a French film, or if this was a particular philosophy of relationships being explored by Salis, the director. It appears to be a bit of both.

But Louis is not interested, he isn't gay or even interested in experimenting. Agnes however, does notice and proposes competing for Louis's affection. If Paul gets Louis, Agnes promises to leave him, but if Agnes gets Louis, she suggesets that Paul should stop exploring his sexuality. ...
