Like the Touch of a Dead Trout
by Jan Svankmajer
[A tactile poem/scenario]
MEDIUM SHOT - A duvet is billowing, tossing about, rolling over.
CLOSE-UP - A finger runs across the teeth of a comb.
LONG SHOT - The duvet is calming down, until it becomes lifeless.
MEDIUM SHOT - A table top. On the table lies a slice of bread. Pieces of bread break off, mould themselves into balls and start rolling about.
CLOSE-UP - A human nose seen from below. Balls of bread roll into the nostrils and disappear up them.
CLOSE-UP - A human ear. Balls of bread roll into the ear and disappear into it.
LONG SHOT - A bare back:
cool
supple
slippery
slimy
To run naked in ripe barley!
LONG SHOT - The duvet covers the bare back. It moves like an animal devouring and digesting the body.
CLOSE-UP - Teeth being cleaned. The movement of the brush speeds up:
slightly sticky
against the direction of the hair
pleasantly unretainable
pliable
To bite off the nails of both index fingers!
LONG SHOT - A heap of dresses chafing each other, climbing over each other, they button and unbutton themselves, etc.
A MONTAGE:
CLOSE-UP - An armpit covered with soft hair:
cloddy
disintegrating
injuring
masticated
To sweat between the toes!
LONG SHOT - The duvet climbs off the bed. It uncovers the bed sheet, which is full of cake crumbs.
