Light that Goes, Light that Returns

Music: Bodies by Chapel Club / Footage: Alphaville (1965) by Jean-Luc Godard


I still owe myself a Godard film marathon! :/

Their bodies, like islands, swum to meet
And merge the havens of their fleets
Two bodies, like shorelines, close beside
Two slender opposing forms that fall and rise

To bear like a tide these searching hands
Two slender opposing, proposing, supposing hands
Like swan heads on slender necks of swans
Joined in the swaying of silent palms

You, my act of love
