Director's Cut
Paris Rosemont
I exist in liminal landscapes of longing
When the fullness of a bloated moon
Spills car (di) nal into a new cycle
Of choreographed chaos, rolling
To the scripted soundtrack of an off-
Key pianola. The stage the same, each
Wax and wane – a cast of changing
Players. You skulk through shadowlands
of peripheral wings. Between the ripples
of speechless flutter, we embark on our
unscripted real: a love story;
​
​
a skin flick;
a snuff film.
