mourning
hours short dance film
6:35minutes 16mm + 35mm
I wake from dreaming, it is dawn
the light nudges me away from my memories
a time of half dreaming and half waking
dawn, this time of day is the hardest
mourning hours
blue
is the colour of grief
absorbing. inescapable. vast.
a colour to drown in
tears
are the material of loss
smothering exhausting soaking distorting
I
wake up in a pool of tears
in a blue bed of memories
