Stills from Flâneur- animation by: Holly Warburton

tell me i’m only half-lost / tell me something stupid like / sometimes you have to get lost to be found / make me believe it / tell me there’s a river out there distributing itself to the sea / tell me how it cries that you love the sea / tell me there’s a river out there / tell me if the river was a person you’d call it a whore / tell me the sea is a casanova to you / do you actually understand anything about rivers? / have you ever actually talked to a sex worker? / have you ever spent a night looking at the sky when neither a star nor the moon was visible to you? / have you ever thought about how the sky might just be a canvas at night mode? / what is inside you? / anxiety? / how do you validate your existence? / have you ever even felt the need to be valid? / were you always valid? / were you always seen? / where are you? / where have you been? / tell me i’m half-found / tell me how death is not a part of life in a the-end way / tell me how death is a part of life in a different-phases way / tell me every time death is part of life life is also part of death / tell me every time i feel myself lost i am not somewhere far away / tell me i’m right here / i’m here.
