Manhunter
*Direct light, nothing we can see by
In turn we live by touch
Blind as our first moments
All white and flame
Become the darkness see too much*
*And what glows warm behind us
Casts a shadow limp as sleep
It goes on forever
Or it seems that way
The words unspoken the line uncrossed*
*Those dark eyes conceal their life within them
Buried secrets, the flesh won't keep
Only motion makes him
And he grows more still
A stronger impulse sinks more deep*
*And the sky grows white above us
Our love a fact
Like any other
Like a muscle pulsing in a seabird's wing
These welcoming doors close above us
*
I’m once again begging, pleading any physical media distributor to give this the full proper remaster 4K collectors edition that it deserves. Nearly every cut out there has been spliced up with VHS sections between cutting through. I want all the extras and deleted scenes, this more than deserves it.
Indelible doesn’t even begin to capture this, it’s close enough to Cinco de Mann-yo that I’m counting it.
