poems
The
film STILL is inspired by a collection of poems written by Jason
Woo.
Here are a few of his writings that the filmmakers particularly
love... the ones that inspire and made the film possible.
Fishes
If
we were fishes,
We
would be those multi-colored ones
Un
abashed,
Un
ashamed of our shimmering
glittering
Gold,
silver, violet scales
If
we were fishes,
We
would be the prettiest ones
With
elaborate fins
Those
fan-like fins that graced the waters
If
we were fishes,
We
would be like those
Living
in a bowl
All
on display for everybody to see
Leave
the Light On
Leave
the light on
Let
me see you with my naked eyes
Your
naked body
Sprawled
across the soiled sheets
Let
me see your eyes
Dark
with no more of that glow
The
love
You
never felt
Leave
the light on
So
I can see the man that you are
And
the boy I just discover
That
I really am
Leave
the light on
Let
me see you leave through that door
With
your socks
Still
in the back pocket of your jeans
Voracious
Cleaning
my paws
Licking
my lips
Ready
to pounce
On
the next un-suspecting prey
That
comes this way
Unleash
that animal in me
Let
the instinct take over
Walk
me around the block
A
few more times
This
strange powerful appetite
To
devour a man
Exhilaration
brimming –
Wonderfully
exciting –
all
