Calling Kharkiv

Soundtrack Fight Scene - version one

Method: A lot of the going-ons are backwards, here.
Narration: When there is nothing left to agree upon, people tend to meet nonetheless.

Lyrics / copyright jo richter:

encounters, he touted
as he sat down next to
a busy road, are created
by alien absence

communications, she uttered
as she sat down next to
him, are still transmitted
across a shared presence

they sat and watched cars,
motorbikes, trucks pass by
each one a statement, pars
pro toto, each noise an alibi

for silence - which spread
with fungal insistance
into flexible joints made
of fragile components

the doppler effect made
some fast-passing mercury
as heavy as lead: I've paid
my dues, time after - a bee
hovered at the rim of her cup
collecting futures when time was up

One Night Stand

The poised posture
Bathed in the gentle light of morning, a girl wanders through the forest, surrounded by hues that whisper of autumn and memory. Every falling leaf, every sunbeam piercing the trees, invites stillness. There is no rush here, only the moment, the breath of nature, and the wonder that awakens when you dare to truly see.

De gedragen houding
In het zachte licht van de ochtend dwaalt een meisje door het bos, omgeven door kleuren die fluisteren van herfst en herinnering. Elk blad dat valt, elk straaltje zon dat door de bomen breekt, nodigt uit tot stilstaan. Hier is geen haast, alleen het moment, de adem van de natuur, en de verwondering die ontstaat als je durft te kijken.

The poised posture

Saturday night's Lullaby flows along in a gently lilting 6/8 time with some rich modulations; listen out for the return of the main melody near the end at half speed: sleep is coming!

When I was little, my parents divorced and we moved with my mother to the other side of the world. My parents always stayed on good terms, and we could call and write, so it wasn't like he had died or anything - but suddenly our father was just... gone from our everyday world. Over the decades, we have been able to catch up every couple of years or so, but parting each time always feels like losing him all over again, and no matter how old I get, that little girl inside me rises to the surface, re-living the confusion, hurt and loss. 

A few years ago, my father showed me a poem that little girl had written and sent to him during those first few years apart:
"I miss you like the pages of a book
I miss you like the shadow of a lion
I miss you like a bird up a flyin'
But when I think of you the sun shines through my tears"


SONG LYRICS:

Like the pages of a book you told me stories
Like the shadow of a lion you made me feel strong by your side
Like a bird up a flyin' in the sky you gave me fearlessness of heights
 
I miss you (I wish, wish you were here)
I miss you (I wish we were together again )
I miss you (Just wish you’d never gone) 
But when I think of you the sun shines through 

Like a step upon the footpath, you showed me how to get by - one foot in front of the other
Like a hug from someone special you gave me comfort when I was frightened
And like nothing else in this world you gave me endless, boundless love

I miss you (I wish, wish  you were here)
I miss you (I wish we were together again )
I miss you (Just wish you’d never gone) 
But when I think of you the sun shines through
