SERGIO LEONE
He came 'round here with his
camera and some of his American
friends. Where the money is
immortal and the killing never
ends. He set out from Cinecitt
through the ruined streets of
Rome to shoot in Almeria and
bring the bodies home.
He worked for Walsh and Wyler
with the chariot and sword when
he rode out in the desert he was
quoting Hawks and Ford. He came
to see the masters and he left
with what he saw what he stole
from Kurosawa he bequeathed to
Peckinpah.
He said, “I'll be rich or I'll be
dead. I've got it all here in my
head.”
From the Via Tuscolana to the
view from Miller Drive. He shot
the eyes of bad men and kept
their deaths alive. With the
darkness and the anguish of a
Goya or Van Cleef.
He could see the killers' faces
and he heard the song they sang.
Where he waited in the darkness
with the Viale Glorioso gang. He
could see the blood approaching
and he knew what he would be
since the days when he was first
assisting The Force of Destiny.
He rescued truth from beauty and
meaning from belief.
