Noir
Gradations of light,
Black on white,
White on black,
A monotone wellspring.
Unadulterated greys
Like weathered shingle.
A veritable placement
Atmospheric oddities,
Noir glimmers,
Flicker on the silver screen.
Taut tensions to tighten
The nightmare scene,
The sadistic thrill.
The hard boiled men.
Bomb shell blondes.
These major icons look out
From a bygone age.
Yet still they thrill.
P H Brookes 2012
