I Will Wade Out

i will wade out
                          till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
                                           Alive
                                                      with closed eyes
to dash against darkness
                                           in the sleeping curves of my body
Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery
with chasteness of sea-girls
                                                Will i complete the mystery
                                                of my flesh
I will rise
                After a thousand years
lipping
flowers
              And set my teeth in the silver of the moon

Stardust

triggered by the death of Dutch graphic designer Arjan Groot, who died aged 39 on 16th July 2011 from cancer (...) the film's story centers on the idea that in the grand scheme of the universe, nothing is ever wasted and it finds comfort in us all essentially being Stardust ourselves.

It's not the job of films to nurse people.

With what's happening in the chemistry of love, I don't want to be a nurse or a doctor, I just want to be an observer. I do believe that this kind of love exists and has nothing to do with taboo*. I don't think cinema is there to victimize or accuse people. Cinema has another aim.

from Spectacularly intimate: an interview with Claire Denis

*sobre o tema incesto

There will be no other reality tonight.

I want to tear myself from this place, from this reality rise up like a cloud and float away, melt into this humid summer night and dissolve somewhere far, over the hills. But I am here, my legs blocks of concrete, my lungs empty of air, my throat burning. There will be no floating away.

from The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

Really unreal world, will you perhaps do the breathing for me while I am away?*

* E. E. Cummings
