The Antidote |
Daring off the road |
To go where no-one knows |
Fading |
She can not speak my name |
I’m jealous of the rain |
Falling |
The blackness of her stare |
Is poisoning the air |
Which we’re breathing |
Behind distorted eyes |
That which we despise |
Loving |
Daring off the road |
To go where no-one knows |
Fading |
She can not speak my name |
I’m jealous of the rain |
When it’s falling |
The blackness of her stare |
Is poisoning the air |
Which we’re breathing |
Behind distorted eyes |
That which we despise |
Loving each other to death |
Eyes diffused with mercury |
Veins filled with the impurity of lead |
Eyes diffused with mercury |
Veins filled with the impurity of lead |
In the hospital light intensity of the cafe, he gasps bitter coffee, |
shifting heavily on rancid furniture |
Nobody speaks English here and he submerges his identity in the anxious cadence |
of unsympathetic sounding discourse |
With time the ego slowly emerges and the desperation urges his rash exposure to |
the rancid night air, drinking breaths of sewer sod and smoke, scoring |
liquorice black pollution onto the soul |
He retches and watches the poison hit the sewer grill, tremulous he glimpses an |
artist sketching him from the cafe window, charcoal tip capturing his trauma on |
paper |
Is this real? |
Is this happening? |
What must he look like to the artist, the observer? |
The reflection in the window surprises him, he scarcely recognises himself |
Why did they poison him? |
They left this detail out of the script, the director capturing his real |
reaction |
He’s a professional and delivers a professional performance, they can’t catch |
him out |
