READ ME
location perth genre short film | poetic
Just like HOME and LOVE IS NOTHING PERSONAL, READ ME is a poetic short film visualizing my innermost feelings. Verses that capture what's on my mind are illustrated with no budget, little equipment and the support of my gorgeous friends.
read me
scars on my body
marks on my skin
lines on my face illustrating the stories reflecting in my eyes
read my lips and what they keep to themselves
words
lingering on my fingertips
revelations in my touch
hear me
listen carefully
for i am not alone in this body of mine
the present has me share it with future and past
fear louder than longing
hope bigger than logic
losses that keep me from gaining
and a quenchless thirst for what's drowning me
see me
see the traces others have left in me
hurting my heart
tiring my soul
see all the people i am and have been
and catch me
as i fall short of who i aspire to be
catch me.
