TRIBUTE:
LOST IN TRANSLATION, 2003
BILL AND SCARLETT
two souls reflected
connected
in a giant foreign window
restless to
get back,
restless to go
somewhere
together,
too far already
All ready--lonely feeling,
alone.
momentary, temporary,
forever
jailbreak
"are you in ?"
"i'm in" she laughed...
and fell into the hands
of a clock stopped night.
she is the only place
where time still
can
stand still.
feel the air,
it will lift you
(it lifted them beyond everything)
two balloons tied together
disappearing
drifting
over the kanji billboard
buildings, vendors, traffic and neon
limitless, the heart is airy light
the night
dark and deep
wrapped around them...soft and slow
silence, and talking, laughter, music, and more
silence
i love a girl's foot stepping
sounds on an autumn night sidewalk
playful timing, serious pace...more laughter
silence and talking
laughter...
softer
laughter
softer
talking
a soft sudden
silence
a sigh
a softer sigh returned
the longest, softest silence...
A kiss. An inaudible whisper.
We can imagine our favorite scenario.
We have to.
