THE SCRIPT AND A POEM INSIDE OF IT:
HE
who do you sleep with?
SHE
i sleep scattered with to many thoughts these days…
some have an inner gravity force, they suck me inside, my hair turns into a whirlpool. i want you to imagine my clothes, my clothes drawing a circle
HE
and you body in the middle, your bones turning flexible. i can imagine that, is a film. it has sound. the sound your trajectory, the sound of adrenaline,
SHE
i will try to catch it, the sound of adrenaline. should be full of vertige and joy? i guess… mmm i can see why is hard for me to get some sleep. i have a secret place i go, opposite this one… you will laugh
HE
tell me
SHE
is an immense pool, a waterland place i saw once, i think it is in india… , i wrote a poem one
HE
tell me the poem
SHE
ok… you pick your pillow and i tell you my poem. the one you like the most. choose the body position you fill comfortable with, and i tell you
HE
i will try not to give my back on you, because i want to see, could be your eyes… but not, it will be your back, every time you inhale, i want to have full perspective over that, how many words the air sustained..
SHE
ok, be my guest. i love that line “be my guest”, isn’t beautiful?
HE
(he nodded his head) he looks at her in a paternal way
SHE
i read you the poem:
it states: come have a swing
come
put your swing wear
and wear me
like a fabric pollution maker
hides its dangers
behind a pool of recycled water
i make an emerald tank out of this waiting
this anxiety
waiting equals water
of invading thoughts
down / faunistic
has water owned a bottom ?
its aquarium resides silent
in me
the pool surface
quiet
except you’d make your olympic return jump
it happens simultaneously
(not you or me) desire tension
floating
and the possibility
of a disappearance
through submersion
the least probable
of them all
HE
is it there? where you go?
into that pool, you sleep with a pool
SHE
i like the feeling of my body so small inside a big mass of water. my head getting colder by it, is an eco-emotion, pillows and pools, can we make a song?
