Rainy Night Music

Wonderful and haunting soundtrack of the movie "Before the Rain". Spend the 45 minutes required to listed to all of it, and then go find the movie and watch it.

Here are two pieces that I wrote to this music (from the archives circa 2004-05):

[A Mouthful of You]

City streets on the window,Are reflections of this day:Passing people, cabs and buses,Memories of urgent lovemakingDissolving into shades of gray.

Ominous flash of sheet lighting,Twitching branches of birds and trees,Dull honking of vehicles and desire.The world, Darling, falls away when my mouthFills up with pieces of you just as windowsAre obliterated by the splashing rain.

[Right Now]

We are on the tricky slopeOf talk, as you urge me toSay what I am feeling rightNow.

Right now, my darling,We are making love, right

Now, we are feeding our hungerFor certainty against dust, right

Now, my hands are pouringCamphor into your hair, right

Now, our bodies are conversing inA language they both know, right

Now, your right eyelash is fluttering againstMy right shoulder like a raven’s wing, right

Now, this black cab is drivingInto London’s thin rain, right

Now eternity is flashing by me, and isFalling on your cheeks as tears, rightNow.

For some reason, this very Buddhist song by the Eagles has been playing on the mental turntable, on repeat...a mind still very much learning how to be still.
