Subtitles
In this movie
kanji* float from the fingertips
of the actor who plays a Japanese
farmer and
kanji wash down the backs
of characters in rough, simple clothes, and kanji
swim through green fields that are probably
growing rice; elegant symbols
symbolizing speech
that I can’t understand
but fully love
in this movie
in this dream.
*kanji = a Japanese alphabet

dream
My first poem in Kanji!
maybe we can collaborate —-i love this idea, it’s so quiet—you dream and I translate into a visual Japanese which may or may not make sense, but appeals to the senses of words and dreams
♡
(and symbols)
And/or you could paint, photograph or film the dreams! This one was so delightful and beautiful I’d love to be able to show it to you and others!
Realized later that the image/idea probably came from the Lesley Dill exhibit I saw a few days prior to the dream … In her artwork 3-d words flow off of and around bodies, etc.
