Super 8 film is very difficult to get processed these days

silence of me

I c**k my Super 8 camera

In a graveyard during the day

I wish I never saw this place

I wish I never had it on exposed film

For it’s documented now

Impermanence is shattered

I’ve captured I’ve everything I’ve ever feared in such clear focus

Sleeping inside a willow tree’s thorns,

Hearing the Seine go by,

I wish I had never been there that day and filmed those shots

But I cocked my Super 8

And I finally found where permanence lies

And no word

No love

No wind

Nothing could blow this reality in a different direction

Looking at everyone in the ground

A record spinning backwards

Feeling how loud it is to be in silence,

When it is complete,

And all around

I wish I never took these shots

Because now when I watch it

The names are grainy and blurred out

And it’s everyone I’ve ever known

It’s everything anyone’s ever shown me

It’s everybody I’ve ever loved

It’s nobody I never knew

It’s everything I always wanted to be

And it’s there forever…

Lost

Yet so easily found

All of us

All of us

6 feet deep beneath the ground
