00:00:01.680 --> 00:00:05.960 align:middle line:84%
Dear diaspora, does
memory eat the body?

00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:08.280 align:middle line:90%
What is the body whittled down?

00:00:08.280 --> 00:00:12.520 align:middle line:84%
The eyes as locket:
mouth, hinge.

00:00:12.520 --> 00:00:15.160 align:middle line:84%
Language cannot
express all memory.

00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:17.140 align:middle line:84%
Those that are not
wholly present,

00:00:17.140 --> 00:00:19.440 align:middle line:84%
that exist at the
edges, so that you only

00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:22.340 align:middle line:84%
recall in small
moments of brilliance

00:00:22.340 --> 00:00:25.120 align:middle line:84%
when someone shows you a
picture, a place where you were

00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.260 align:middle line:84%
present and your
body took up space,

00:00:27.260 --> 00:00:29.380 align:middle line:84%
acted and moved
and was acted upon.

00:00:29.380 --> 00:00:32.720 align:middle line:84%
And you realize you would
never remember your body there

00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:36.880 align:middle line:84%
if it wasn't for this other to
unlock this small part living

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:38.560 align:middle line:90%
in you, but separate.

00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:40.880 align:middle line:90%
How can this be?

00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:42.820 align:middle line:84%
A fish leaping
out of the depths.

00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:43.760 align:middle line:90%
The well.

00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:45.920 align:middle line:90%
A moment of light.

00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:47.100 align:middle line:90%
Orange flame.

00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:48.160 align:middle line:90%
Brief glimmer.

00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:49.720 align:middle line:90%
A slice.

00:00:49.720 --> 00:00:53.870 align:middle line:84%
What if memory is a
light you swallow?

00:00:53.870 --> 00:00:56.000 align:middle line:90%
