I saw the lights flash.
He shoved me to safety street,
Death fell, had him beat.

The Slow Dance
"The Slow Dance" is an immersive exploration of a singular, stolen moment within the Blue Velvet Candlelight Club. Set against the gritty, neon-soaked backdrop of 1970s Los Angeles, the piece captures the "ancient and gentle" recognition between two souls before a single word is spoken.

That is most of the times the most intense scene of a movie; I'm always waiting for someone to come and save. Great Job with the Haiku 🤝✨
This is deep and intense. Feels like a whole story in just a few lines!
Short, sharp, and so powerful! A heroic moment captured in just a few words—hits hard, but leaves you grateful.
I like it! I always love a rescue story ❤️😊
Oh, wow....wasn't expecting the last line. Powerfully packed haiku.
