todd moore | the fevers and sweats of the nightmare poem


THINGS I DIDN’T KNOW I LOVED

todd moore | reading the movies, watching the poems


I love to play movies in my head.
Just little scenes that come out of nowhere and go back to the chaos of nightmare and dream. Maybe I’ll have Billy the Kid talking to Pat Garrett. The Kid is in jail waiting to be hanged and Garrett is sitting [...]

todd moore | love, longing, dillinger, disaster

Have you ever wanted to talk to Ernest Hemingway? Just wanted to sit down at a table in some Paris bistro and ask him when he knew that Jake Barnes belonged to him, was his totally and absolutely. When THE SUN ALSO RISES was his book to write and that nobody else was [...]

todd moore | nightmare frenzy

Kenny G. wasn’t looking for a blackjack in the face. He was the kind of guy who wanted to talk shit to you before he kicked your ass. He wanted to scare you by telling you what he was going to do to you. High and low. Maybe if you just [...]

alex gildzen | looking for the blood of elizabeth short

for Todd Moore…………………………….!
the walk
from Florentine Gardens
to Boardner’s
is quick
on a quake afternoon
the pavement
she walkd
is gone
now names of stars
she never knew
are buried
in a dazzle
like the glitter
on her grave
her name
isn’t there
but she illumines
Hollywood Blvd
forever
there is blood
& then
there is blood
her blood
one of the great
vanishing acts
of the 20th century
her pieces
the first step
toward stardom
tour guides tell
busloads
which buildings
she may have
lived in
more buildings
than [...]
