sixteenth circle (ii)

young girl reminiscent
of films painted in silence,
you are not an ingenue
but genuinely innocent,
not endearingly
but simply dearly.

dear heart,
endured and endeared
to your art,
half painter
and half filmmaker,
the brush strokes
of your curiosity
glide in motion picture.

aesthete adorned
to monochrome aesthetics,
you are like films
before our time;
a classic in an era
ahead of our time.
