I long for the day when nothing moves. It's too much movement now.

That’s actually my favorite thing about this poem.

It captures how much I loved walking through Buenos Aires very late at night. When no one is looking.

“An absence my body remembers” quietly holds the center of this piece for me. The poem moves like early morning itself — half memory, half weather — and never tries to explain the wound it’s circling around. That restraint is what gives it atmosphere.

Thank you Antonio <3 that means a lot to me.

Wow, Wow, WOW Kasu!

Every bit of this is stunning!

The video and music, with its heartbeat, carry through as a core emotion in this piece.

The choice of indigo is such a vibrant visual and internal colour to choose, and it works so well!

And at its core, a love poem with loss and ache, but such tenderness and intimacy.

Loved this.

Best thing I've seen in a very long time!

PS. Thank you so much for the mention and being a small inspiration in a big piece!

"Tell me I'm dreaming"..... that stays and intertwines with the music and poem...that dreamlike feeling of invisibility...of no one looking........ i have felt it too....and somehow this drew me into it and welcomed me too.....and reinforces why i try not to walk by anyone who looks like they could use a friend.... thank you... this is so powerful.

Wow.. this is absolutely stunning!

The line "an absense my body remembers" really holds it together and makes it truly vulnerable..
