Foreign film (Free verse) by richa
I had no idea you were a fascist under that soft Spanish skin and those syllables. When that man shouted you down he was I and I could not have you let me off without flickering, rage is close to sadness and I could not love the whores of Tijuana deeply or the beautiful apostates if they did not rage at the handsome storm that blew brutish through true America.

Enjamb if you want to, but I think a period is needed after flickering. Perhaps a title about subject matter; I know it's a film, but does that really matter? I think the second verse is better than the first because of the nebulous fascist reference.
