"Who will close my eyes for me?

When my last exhalation slips out unseen

No BPM left inside the machine

The piercing wink-out of a CRT screen-

Who will close my eyes for me?

Dust gathers on glass

Reflecting personal effects

Fingerprints and water remain

Bedside of what used to be

Who will close my eyes for me?

“Rest” is a verb; impossible now

“In peace” is subjective

-How can meat get upset?

Terrible solemn tenderness

As bald as lust,

As stark as an empty stomach,

Older than speech-

The frozen silence swells to fill the heart

Of the unknown one

Who will close my eyes for me."
Close My Eyes - duckett

.

A short experimental docu-voodle by bk featuring "a" spectator's interlaced and grainy view on the unfamiliar/familiar... or the mere reflection on his own personal effects? Welcome, associative viewers, associate with the spectator and the incident captured in Oslo, Norway - 2008.08.17. - and make up your own mind... but know that; you're guilty anyway! To 'close my eyes' is not an option - it never has been - but it sure is effective for the view presented (colab frozen silence remix featuring duckett)!
