“Just north of where I grew up there was an awesome bay on Lake Superior called Batchawana Bay.

You could walk out for what felt like a mile and the water would still only be up to your knees.
The water was warm and the sand was perfect.
I miss that place.”.

Agosto

2010-02-21

August
is the coldest month of the year
winter moves six months forward
and this is not the South Pole
here is not the South Pole

August
The alarm clock breaks the silence
Someone is on vacation
and she sounds for hours
How cold it is

August
looks out on a sick heart
five o’clock in the evening
and it’s already pitch dark
winter in August

the ice
settles and covers things
the waiting for the warm freezes also the dead
How cold it is

If it is not true that you’re afraid
it’s not true that you feel alone
it’s not true that it’s cold
why are you trembling in this August?

August
is written on your calendar
maybe you slept six months
but you’re so tired
so tired

August
is the coldest month of the year
in the other hemisphere they call it winter
August

Agosto (August): a song* of Perturbazione (2002).
Video: Paroles en l’air (1995) by Sylvain Vincendeau**.

Everything Will Be OK

2010-02-10

“After another two days
they concluded Bill was not going to die,
so his mother had all the flowers
removed from his room.

She also had to have his casket returned
at greater expense and inconvenience.

Bill had to go back to work the following thursday.
It rained for the entire bus ride.”.

Everything Will Be OK. A short film by Don Hertzfeldt.

First chapter of a three part story.
With the second part, I am so proud of you, it’s now available on DVD on Bitter Films.
